IC417 ~ Strength Sea Shell
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: SmilynStef

 I was excited when Audrie invited me to join her for this week's SCS Inspiration Challenge. I chose these beautiful Faux Coral Shadowboxes from Horchow to inspire my design.

I stamped Sea Shells from Crafter's Companion Sea Shell set on Ultra Smooth White Cardstock using India ink and then started cutting.

I embossed Black Magic Core'dinations Cardstock (with a brown core) using the Embossalicious Gun Metal Embossing folder and then sanded with a nail file to bring out the texture.

I attached the shells using dimensional tape and then attached sentiments from Divine Inspiration to finish the design.
