I have been playing with the gorgeous Sand & Sea Suite today and Oh My Goodness it is stunning: I especially love the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder which gives the most amazing texture.
Colours used in this project are:
To recreate the seashells card, you will need:
Misty Moonlight – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Very Vanilla – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded upper left corner
So Saffron – 5½” by 3¾”– rounded upper left corner
So Saffron – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded upper left corner – inside
Very Vanilla – 5½” by 3¾”– rounded upper left corner
Scrap Very Vanilla & Balmy Blue
I used a Stampin’ Spritzer filled with 70% Isopropyl Alcohol and a pea-sized blob of Frost White Shimmer Paint to spray the smaller So Saffron panel. I left it to one side to dry, so sparkly……

When the panel was dry, I ran it through my Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine with the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder.

I gently rubbed my Versamark ink pad over the top of embossed panel, covered the panel with Heat & Stick Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I covered the layer with Gold Gilding Flakes, rubbed off the excess and used one of the Blending Brushes to burnish. I wrapped some Lace Trim around it the panel and used Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to add the embossed panel to the larger Very Vanilla panel. The whole piece was added to the Misty Moonlight card base using Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Friends are like Seashells stamp set in Night of Navy ink onto scrap Very Vanilla card and die cut it out using one of the Tasteful Labels Dies.

I stamped both types of fronds using Night of Navy or Balmy Blue ink and the starfish in Night of Navy ink, all on scrap Very Vanilla card. I stamped the small clam in Balmy Blue ink on scrap Balmy Blue card. I used my Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to draw some lines on the clam shell, let it dry until tacky then rubbed on some Gold Gilding Flakes.

I added the shells and fronds with Dimensionals to the card front. To finish the card, I added a trio of Gold Glitter Enamel Dots.

This card is so, so sparkly. I love it.
