I had this arranged one way & was not happy at all, so I left off all the extra panels & now I'm happy. I'm still not sure I like this, but it does look better than previous - take my word for it!
The conch shell is Soft Suede stamped off twice, the nautilus is Close to Cocoa stamped off once, the scallop is Cameo Coral & the sand dollar is Crumb Cake. I used crinkle (Target) paper again, I think it looks wavy. The conch is on popdots.
this is a great sketch Roxie, I'm just going to have to give it a lot more thought.
Thanks for stopping by to take a peek.
PT - none now

Hello to you too gallery neighbor! Your card is super lovely. That Target crinkle blue panel looks like water. Way cool! Love all your sea shells. Glad you finally were able to put things where you wanted them with great results. Wonderful and very pretty card. TFS :0)

Oh, I spotted the "wave" effect on your crinkly paper right away!! I like your take on the sketch--now, all we need is quite a bit of sunshine over here--it'll probably take all summer for our beaches to warm up. We are having an extremely cool, wet spring.

That crinkly paper is so cool!! I love this SU shells set, a classic keeper for sure. I can't imagine them ever making a shell set nicer than this one.

I LOVE seashell cards Bugzi and this one is so calming with the soft colors. I'm tryin' to be better about not commenting on all punchie cards, but I can't stop myself. I'm tryin' real hard though!

Karen, you create the most wonderful cards. I really like how you avoided the squares(the "dreaded little squares" IMO)......and put in lovely shells. These stippled shells really are pretty stamped in various colors and put on your sunny sky and water blue bgs.
