Sea Shells Galore...

I feel like I'm already at the beach. 

How about you? 

I had fun creating this card because I just thought of the warm tropical breezes with blue ocean water and sea shells washing up on the beach all the while I was gluing on each little shell on this card.  I was sure to use light blue paper for the background to help co-inside with the feeling of the beautiful light blue water that is so prevalent in the Caribbean.  I then used some gauge that I had in the house and colored it green and blue on the background with my inks.  I had hoped this would give it the look of an old fishing net.  However, I really didn't have much room for the gauge on this small card of 5 1/2 X 4 1/4 to really show it off. 

Close ups for you.

I also had a $1.00 stamp that I used for stamping the little sea shells to the front of the card.  How about that ity, bitty, real star fish?  I just love that!

The flowers remind me a bit of water Lilly's.  Although, water Lillie's are not from the the ocean?  Just water related.

Next time your at the ocean grab a

few little shells for your next card.

Thanks for joining me here today.

Blessings to each of you...
