What a beautiful inspiration this week, with ocean colors, thanks Karen! I had a blast rockin and rollin my shells to get a mottled look. But it began with a soft sky base stamping the Wordsworth sentiment in soft sky and masking, the cheesecloth stamped in slate (Adirondack) over the top. The shells were stamped first on the base in broken china (Tim Holtz distress ink) and twice more, once on soft sky with soft sky, and finally on white cs with scattered straw (distress ink) and Heritage sea foam. I love this shell cube from Christine Aldoph (Stampington). It was on to build my layers and I used Paper Adventures Tropical Breeze group with the bottom, being Tide Pool Treasures. I CB'ed the blue strip layer in d'vine swirl, and the harlequin stripe is a gift from my stamping next door neighbor! I added a bit of ribbon to the edge to express my attitude about art...oh and a pair of binoculars to remind me to keep ART in focus. Thanks very much for your comments!

This is a gorgeous card. A little hard to see...seems like you take pictures like me! Love the way you masked off the sentiment from the cheesecloth bg!
