Let’s Create

1. Affix all stamps to Acrylic Blocks.

3. Emboss the 4 ¾” x 3 ¾” Crumb Cake Cardstock just on the right half using the splatters Embossing Folder from the Stripes and Splatters bundle.
4. Tear the Designer Series Paper at an angle so that the top edge measures approximately 1 ¼”.  Use ⅜” – ½” of the torn edge with the to layer about ⅜” to ½” from the edge, this creates a layered, wave look.

9. Using Black Memento Ink, stamp the seashell image to the 2 ½” x 2 ½” square of Basic White Cardstock – stamping it twice so the it forms a circle.
10. Color the shells using Stampin’ Blends.  I used Daffodil Delight, Crumb Cake, Calypso Coral, Balmy Blue and Night of Navy.
11. Use the 2 ⅜” Circle Punch to punch the stamped image and adhere it to the 2 ½” x 2 ½” Night of Navy piece of Cardstock.

Such a sweet, super easy card- use an embossing folder, a simple pattern and deckled dies to add a bit of interest to three rectangles for the background. Then a stamped focal image and die cut tag. That’s it!
