QUEEN DARLA

Photo Details

Poster: SparklePlenty1000

This lovely card was my inspiration. Stamped my shells in white and colored with aqua, added some Martha Stewart branch punches for the coral and some pearls. Added the sentiment, decorated the envelope and VOILA!

The envelope digi was from crystaldolphins.

I love that stamp set, and never quite know what to do with it! This is inspired - and inspiring! Love the use of the pine branch punch as seaweed. Who wudda thunk it? ;)

Ooh, I love your embossed, aqua sea shells and the pretty seaweed you created. As I just told Lois, I love seeing a beach card after a long winter. Beautifully done.

We CASEd the same card, but you might not guess that right away because our cards are really different. (Not only did we CASE the same card, but we're gallery neighbors.) I love the white embossing on your shells and the "coral" made from the branch punch. Awesome card!!!

Love how you used the branch punch to make that coral...your sea scape is so realistic looking, Phyllis. Beautiful work.

I have a story for you, Phyllis. When we got stationed at 32nd Street Naval Base in SanDiego and lived in Temecula (67 miles north), I was not adjusting very well. I'm an East coast gal and was not used to tiny trees and brown in place of luscious green. (Those golden hills are really DIRT.) I finally had to pray and ask God to see the beauty in the desert. He showed me and I finally felt better about the change. So glad to be back East again though. : ) Love those pretty shells and the sea coral and pretty pearls too~Wonderful card~
