Chimay Blue has been known to mention that I don't have enough masculine cards in my gallery. He has also commented how much he appreciates Just Because cards. So this card is intended to fulfill both observations!
I stamped the shells from Along the Shore to the background panel, used a rope border punch and layered that over Chocolate Chip to highlight the border. Stamped Canvas in Versamark on the panel atop which rests the shell.
Although the sentiment references a pebble, I thought shells would be much more interesting!
Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day!

This is really, really beautiful! It would definately make a great masculine card. I love the soft pallett, bit's of twine, shells and sentiment. Your design flows so nicely!
