Hi Bloggers.
Here's today's card -
For the background, I inked through the Woodgrain Mask with Butterscotch Adirondack Dye Ink using Cut n Dry Foam. I then wiped some Aqua Adirondack Dye Ink over one side of the Couture Creations Peacock Pleasures Embossing Folder, popped the background inside the folder, closed it and ran a brayer over the folder to transfer the inked pattern to the background. I made sure the ink was dry and then dusted the piece with my anti static bag. I stamped some shells and starfish (from the Justrite At the Beach Oval Medallion Labels Stamp Set) along the bottom using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer True White Detail Embossing Powder.
I stamped the main image from the same stamp set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Cosmic Shimmer Matt Drawing Inks. I used Scarlet Flame from the Autumn Shades Set, Blue Lace from the Soft Velvet Set, Sea View from the Garden Twist Set and Sunflower from the Summer Fayre Set. I cut it out using Justrite Nested Oval Medallion Labels Dies.
I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Justrite Antique Tags One Dies and inked through the die with Butterscotch Adirondack.
I assembled the card as shown adding a couple of Idea-ology Custom Fasteners and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in White around the edges.

Hi Julia, lovely card as usual, we have just come home from an all family holiday in Norfolk and to my surprise the beaches were lovely, so may make on for each of my grandchildren as a memento.
