This card was made for Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge #429 (http://colormyheartcolordare.blogspo...-of-color.html) which required the use of at LEAST 3 of their challenge color palette ( I managed to use 5 of their 6 colors).
The Stampin' Up! suite of embossing folders, dies and stamps made this card come together relatively easily. Since shells were my focus point, I was able to use SU equivalents of five of the Color My Heart palette: Ballerina, Carolina, French White, and Smoothie.
I love the sentiment about friends that is part of the stamp set, so make this the central point about which the shells clustered. Use of shimmer paper really makes the shells and sentiment piece gorgeous! I used foam tape behind several of the shells to give them added depth to their embossing.
I am rating the difficulty level for this card as a "2" out of a possible "5" because the elements of the suite work so well together. I think this will be an appropriate card for a birthday or just to send to a friend.
