Today starts a new challenge at the Day of the Month Card Club!
This month we are celebrating
National Seashell Day
.I'm not entirely happy with today's card because the idea I had in my head didn't turn out well on the card.
Too bad! ... but it's lookable!
I stamped all the images on scraps of gel prints and then cut them out. On some shells I applied Wink of Stella and on others I added metallic watercolor. I pasted the shells and characters on a gel print. Cut it to size and glued it on a slightly larger blank card. The sentiment I stamped with individual letter stamps.
Did you know
that one of the oldest known collection of shells can be traced back to 79 AD in Pompeii in Southern Italy,
with shells from distant places, as far as the Red Sea
Have Fun! ;)

RépondreSupprimerIch weiß auch nicht, was es hier zu meckern gibt. Die Karte ist bezaubernd und ich liebe die Idee, wie Du die Muscheln gemacht hast. Wahrscheinlihc bist Du ein wenig enttäuscht, weil Deine Kopfidee nicht 100%ig auf der Karte gelandet ist. Geht mir auch öfters so, aber dann freunde ich mich mit dem Endergebnis doch an. Bises
