IC514 = Shells Pinterest board. I didn't pick any one of the photos, but used the theme of "shells" of the entire board. There was a great deal of aqua/turqs/blues in the photos too. I used Audrie's "embossing folder stamping" technique to do most of the card. Added a small tag with a real shell for interest and to go with the sentiment.
A good surprise this morning....saw that the HYCCT challenge(to have a tag on our card) for today could be used for the card I had uploaded for the IC. Doesn't always work out that way, but nice when it does. : )

Wow! A real shell , and an image of a shell, too! Sometimes it is like that for me; all the photos inspire me, not just one. This is a beautiful inspired card, in fact it inspires me!

Leave it to you to come up with something so perfect...right down to the little shell which matches that awesome sentiment so wonderfully. Gorgeous background, Sallie....gorgeous card!

You got such a lovely image using Audrie's technique! I have a tendency to drown mine, but this is perfect, and the addition of a real shell is wonderful. Gorgeous card, Sallie!

Delightful mix of those beautiful blues to do the embossing folder technique, and adding in the little tag with the shell is a perfect embellishment! Love that sentiment too!!

I love to ink up my embossing folders. Your card is beautiful with its huge shell as the focal image and the tiny little real shell as an accent. Love it!
