Unfortunately, we have gray, cloudy skies today, and since this is already a dark house it was hard to get great photos. Hope you can see well enough. The sentiment doesn't show well, I'm sorry. I am not sure where it or the sand dollar came from, but the rest of the shells are from Creative Pointe. I was amazed at how well they cut!
I used Core d'nations Cardmakers Cardstock in Pearl for everything except my sentiment. It has a lovely pearly sheen to it and I discovered that not only does it cut easily but it also prints well. My card base was cut from a piece that I printed first in ocean looking pattern. All I also used a variety of other papers for the shells, mixing for color and texture.
I don't remember where I got the sketch of the ship, but I used my Cameo and sketch pens to draw it... I do not draw anything (except a couple of cartoons that I've perfected for my classrom, wows the kids!).
Thanks for looking, and thanks to My Sheri Crafts for this opportunity. I agonized over this card, but had lots of fun with it once I finally decided what to do!
Have a Great Summer Day!
