For this week's shell technique challenge. I embossed a scrap of cs using four scallop oval nesties (Can you see the leftovers in front?) before scoring, then cut the shell shape. I stamped the shell with dots and sponged. I popped it up on a scrap panel that had been stamped repeatedly with the sea treasures border stamp, using a faint gray tone on natural. I then attached the panel to a box lid which had been cut to form a double frame.

Very cool, Brenda! What a great idea to emboss the scallops in, that makes a beautiful shell. And the soft stamping behind it is lovely too, I thought it was DP till I read your description. Such a sweet little gift box, or to keep a beachcombing treasure in.

Love how you made your paper seashell. Aren't you clever! Love the added scallop scoring. The box is so cute and the decorating makes it all the more special. Creative take on the challenge! TFS
