Pearl Pink Shells

Posted on March 26, 2021March 18, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a gorgeous pearl pink shells thank you card made using the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder and the Seaside Seashells Dies

Colours used in this project are:

Gray Granite

Petal Pink

Basic White

To recreate the pearl pink shells card, you will need:

Gray Granite card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Gray Granite – 5¾” by 4”
Petal Pink – 5⅞” by 4⅛”
Basic White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Scrap Basic White

This is such a simple card to make. I started by filling a Stampin’ Spritzer bottle with 70% Isopropyl Alcohol and added a pea sized blob of Frost White Shimmer Paint. After shaking it well I sprayed the Petal Pink card layer all over and set it aside to dry. The shimmer is stunning.

When the Petal Pink panel was dry. I ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Seaside Seashell dies.

The die cut piece was then positioned in the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder and run through the Stampin’ Up! Cut & Emboss Machine again. The texture is amazing.
