Hello all, I got so much inspiration from that Shell board this morning and started my card this morning but then had to leave the house for a while for a 95 year old friend from church memorial service,,,ah, Talk about great artist...she was! Anyway, the board of shells just floored me as to the awesomeness of God's creation...the greatest artist of all! See my inspiration here and other ones too!
So I also used a tag die to make my sentiment (hope that is ok).
Green Vellum for sea grass, real shells, real starfish, and the most beautiful coppery crushed glass type glitter for sand around the shells. Liquid Applique for foamy waves along with Diamond Dust and Stickles. The waves and water also reflecting the sunset colors (my husband and I witness this when we went to the ocean for our anniversary a few years back). I'm not sure you can see all the sparkle but there is plenty of it IRL and also the bg is white embossed with the fishing net stamp from ODBD too, that also adds sparkle.
Thanks for looking!

This is especially dear to me because I'll be living near the water very soon. All those beautiful treasures that balance your card so nicely will be at my door step - aah (no more snow). A beautiful card, and top notch design my friend!

Love this card and image. The shells are terrific too. I have tons of them that I have collected from the ocean floor all over the world while scuba diving. I need to Case this one.

You've given me a great excuse to collect more tiny shells next time I am at a beach lol. (because I already have a bowlful as decoration)
This is so wonderful. I looked at it a long time. Lot to take in, but in a great way....I like the glitter and the net bg and the brightness of the sunset and water against the browns/neutrals....I like the grass and you sewed it! You were definitely in the zone and inspired and the mojo flowed!

This is spectacular - such a beautiful scene with the added bonus of real shells. Can't wait to get to the beach to collect more. Nothing better than bare feet on the beach.

Beautiful card, Robin....not only the dramatic beach scene, but all the tiny seashells, glitter sand, gauze and grasses added to it. Full of texture and color.
