Hello! Stampendous sometimes creates stamps that have an ocean theme. Sometimes they’re shells, sometimes they’re of the sea, but they’re always beautiful and I really enjoy coloring them. Today, the new stamp Seaside Shells has both shells and the sea, so I was excited to work with it.

I really loved making this card. If you caught my Sunflower Perch card from the other day, you saw that I love tearing paper for my backgrounds. I thought that was also effective on this card. And again, I needed that sprinkling of sequins. Please check out the Stampendous Blog to see more summery projects from the rest of the team. Thanks so much for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!
This came out lovely! Yes, tearing the paper adds great texture that in this case reminds me of the waves and the tougher edges of some of the sea shells! Beautiful work!!!!
