The seashells were stamped on scrap Basic White in Mango Melody, Sweet Sorbet, Tahitian Tide or Pacific Point ink and die cut using the Seaside Seashells Dies. I used a Clear Wink of Stella pen to add a little colour on the shells and provide a little sparkle.

Stack of Bowls for the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we have been challenged to use the following colours. I have chosen to use the bowls from the What’s Cookin’ stamp set for my card.

 

To recreate the stack of bowls card, you will need:

Blushing Bride card base – 8¼” by 5⅝” scored at 4⅛”
Flirty Flamingo card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Hand-Penned dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 5½” by 2½”
Flirty Flamingo card – 5½” by 1½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”

 

The panel of Hand-Penned dsp in Blushing Bride was glued to the Flirty Flamingo layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I used the same glue to add the panel to the Blushing Bride card base.
