Our blog hop is circular - if you arrived from Connie's blog, Scraps & Stories you are right on track. If you are just getting started just follow the links until you come back to me. Enjoy the trip!
In order to add just a little dimension to the shells I used a daub of liquid glass on the back and gently laid it down on the card allowing it to dry without pushing the shell down. This added a little lift without being overwhelming like mounting tape would have been for these small embellishments.
I'm calling this my "thing" card. The card technique was an IOD project which I decided to use Claire on and our cute spinners. I like my results, but I have no idea what I would use it for - an anniversary card perhaps?

ReplyDeleteBetsy, you are always one step ahead of me!!! I was just looking at that summery beach stamp set! Darling with these papers! I would never have guessed. Papers are muted enough to take on the soft summery look! Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute cards! I love the look of that second card, the way it expands. Still need to try one of those myself.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mare - I wouldn't have thought of that stamp with these papers, but I love the way it works! Good thought on the Liquid Glass dimension, too!
ReplyDeleteHoly Freakin' Moley!
