A friend, Margie, came over to visit today and gave me a beautiful clay mask that she had made of a woman's face with an impression of shells in her hair, kind of like a crown. What perfect timing for today's challenge! I stamped the bottom portion of this card and adhered it to one of Martha Stewart's pop-out ocean scene invitation cards. Every time I tried to embellish it with sequins, or pearls, it seemed to distract from the entire card so I chose to keep it simple. I will have to write her thank you message on the back but I'm OK with that and I think she will be, too.

That crown of shells looks great the way you made the pop-ups for the shells! This is really a pretty card! I'm sure she will love getting the thank you from the image.

That pop-up is great - so I'm reading it that that's something pre-printed? It certainly works perfectly with your wonderful shell-crowned face, she must be a mermaid. What a lovely gift, too. We went into a small pottery in Greece - the potter was from I've forgotten which Scandinavian country but had been living there for many years. Her work was so beautiful, I could have spent a small fortune there. She had these amazing jellyfish that she had done for a display in the Marine Conservation centre. And I bought a shell that looks real.
