Whew, I was determined to make a seashell card this summer as I haven't made one as of yet. Well, it will be at least another year before I consider that again as "mad" as I went with this one. But it is, after all, a Midnight MADNESS card, so I guess that's why!! LOL!!
Priscilla's sketchs are always so wonderful and really stretch your skills and imagination; but, she also offers a CAS version so everyone can play.
I used some polka dot dp in 3 different colors for this card. I also used some tiny seashells I collected while in Destin, Florida last year. The other small seashells I received in a RAK from Stamp Muse, along with the large brown and blue seashells on the main image panel. Thanks M!
I used cloud dp for the top part of image panel and real sand and crushed seashells for the bottom portion.
I paper pierced the image panel and main panel. I used eyelets for the side panel per the sketch and threaded them with string. I place the tiny seashells between each set of eyelets. I added a silver charm at the bottom I had in my stash and the string loops on the side of the image panel per the sketch.
The main panel, eyelet panel and image framing panel were popped up on dimensionals.
Thanks SO MUCH for taking the time to look and have a fantastic week!!

Wow! What a beautiful seashell card. I love those brown and blue fan shells. The eyelets and lacing must have taken a while. I can see why this is a 'one time each summer' card. Outstanding job! I love it!!!
