Congratulations CarrollAnn for being Queen of the Day. I chose your cute seahorse card as my inspiration. Water and Sand (LSC224) by MrsBoz at Splitcoaststampers My best friend had given me several ceramic seahorses before she passed away, I thought this would be perfect to send to her mother whom I still keep in touch with. Her mom always loves my hand made cards.
I used teal textured cs as the base. I drew a circle on light teal cs, cut out then ran it through the CB bubbles folder. I also used the technique punch circle edge using a MS adhesive border strip. I used the CB shell die cut on mustard cs, then embossed it & used the white Signo pen on the shell so you can see it better. Then I used the MS branch punch on lime cs dp. The shell is raised with a 3D square. I used my SU matt stack & pierced 3 rolls of holes along the bottom. I decided to place a whole roll of yellow pearls just above that rather than the ribbon.
Congratulations again.
Things I changed: omitted the ribbon, used ceramic seahorse instead of stamped image & piercing
Accessories: CB Bubbles folder, CB shell die cut & embossing folder, white signo pen, ceramic seahorse button, MS border strips, circle stencil, SU matt stack, piercing tool, 3D square, yellow pearls, MS branch punch

Connie, I'm so sorry your best friend passed away so early in life. I'm glad you have some things you can remember her by. I'm sure her mother will absolutely love this card! I love that row of pearls instead of ribbon!! Where do you get pearls?...Under da sea!! That seahorse your friend gave you is awesome!! This card is put together beautifully!
