On scrap Basic white card, I stamped the large shell with Petunia Pop ink, one of the medium shells with Timid Tiger ink and the round shell with Coastal Cabana ink. I fussy cut out all the shells and added them to the card front with glue or Dimensionals.

The sentiment, for the Fragrant Layers stamp set was stamped on the piece of Secret Sea card with Versamark ink, covered it with White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool before being added to the card front on Dimensionals.
