I have to say thanks, Liz for the charming challenge...from nursery school rhymes to thoughts of holding a shell to your ear to hear the roar...
And what's not to love about this sensational collaged image from Impression Obsession! I used Memento Tuxedo Black on Basic Grey paper. Cut around the paper and into the scripted part. Used faux pearls for the strands and added a bit of black cord and a beautiful snippet of lace.
Thanks for having a look and always always your comments are dear to my heart. Now back to that shell tune....

A masterpiece with wonderful textured images, and a powerful message of just how grand the scheme is on God's small wonders of this world. My dear, Susan, I have missed your wonderful style and how thought provoking it is.

OUTSTANDING! You've not lost your touch my friend. This is fantastic. I love the string of pearls and the thought of hearing the roar of the shell in my ear. The lace is gorgeous!

Susan, this is indeed a lovely collage stamp, and perfect for this challenge. The pearls, the dp, the lace . . . everything comes together beautifully here!

Oh, oh, oh! This is my favorite of all. You know I love collage and you do such a good job with it. I LOVE the muted colors and the lace is just fabulous. I love that you didn't color the shells. It's a super card. You go, Girl. You are really on a roll.
