This is my card for today's Featured Stamper Challenge - to CASE Vicki (vdutchr). I was delighted to see Vicki as featured stamper! She is a very talented stamper and a great person! It was hard to choose just one card to CASE because Vicki does so many styles so well! In the end, I chose this beautiful seashell card: Stampin B's #64 by vdutchr at Splitcoaststampers
I kept the layout and seashell theme the same, but changed:
-the colors
-different background
-different shell stamps and sentiment
-used gold mesh instead of seagrass
-added a bunch of pearls
The shell background was made by sponging with Tattered Rose Distress Ink over the Spellbinders Seashell Impressabilities. The netting was airbrushed with a Lionel Gold Copic marker. The shells were colored with Copics then highlighted with Spica pens to make them shimmery. Added lots of pearls to finish it.
Thanks, Beth, for the outstanding choice of FS and huge congrats to you, Vicki, on the well-deserved honor of being Featured Stamper! So happy for you!
