This was a bit time consuming, but so much fun to make! I can just imagine the recipients face when they open it, which makes me so happy!! I made an index to show what all comes with this bundle pictured after the card. I cased this card from last year's Spring Catalog. White card base, Seaside Spray layer, Gray Granite Layer that's embossed with Brick and Mortar 3D embossing folder. I used white craft ink and a blending brush to add some white wash. The images were all colored with Stampin' Blends. The dies do the work of creating the arbor and gate.

We have busy creating for Card Ministry at St. John's.
This card is made with the Friends are like seashells bundle and the coordinating Seashells 3D embossing folder. I've never worked with a set like this before, it's amazing!
You diecut FIRST, then line up the stamps on the shape. Since the stamps are clear it's easy to do with a stamp block, or if you prefer, you can use your Stamparatus. After you diecut and stamp the shells, you place the diecut inside the embossing folder, line it up and run it through the machine. WOW! lots of texture and 3Dness! lol Super, super cool!
I used the Pearlescent paper, Basic White and Blushing Bride. Oh! I forgot to tell you about the background. This card is cased from page 40 in the catalog, but I don't have the coordinating DSP yet, so I got out my new favorite tools, the blending brushes and swiped color on my white background. Voila, instant printed paper. The blending brushes are so thick, and dense that the color goes on sooooo smoothly.
