Artystamper! Here you are friend, right where you belong, crown and all! Julia, your work is always beautiful, and I was especially touched by this card, and think your pearls look simply divine with the shell images. Thanks for the encouragement you always bring my way and the talent you share. You are a treasure!
Using Julia's card as a jumping off spot, I incorporated the TSC challenge issued by Irishgreensue to use the embossing resist technique, and the colors, green, orange and some shade of blue and the dessert is to use a summer theme. (I had to sneak in a wee bit of green on the back panel once I was nearly done!) Greenie, I am not thrilled with technique challenges, but really enjoyed stretching a bit on this! Thanks for a fun challenge Sistah! I used SU's Beautiful Beach for the embossed resist, and added light images from Stipple Shells over the sentiment.
Thanks for looking, and Julia, keep that crown shined up right! Hugs....
