This is my card for today's sketch challenge. This is my story! (Thanks Roxie!)
1. Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary...How does your garden grow? With silver bells and cockle shells and pretty maids all in a row!
2. Okay, so this big old flower must be cockle shells cuz it's made with a seashell stamp, its a flower and it belongs in Mary's Garden.
3. I made this flower using the seashell stamp in a new set being introduced by H & M Stamps on Friday, the 24th.
4. The sketch is there....just have to peek under the flower. Mary uses Miracle Grow on her garden and you know what that stuff does!
5. I stamped the seashells on water color paper and then was able to curl them with a bone folder to get the dimension.

Cindy, this seashell card is simply awesome, Love what you've done with this gorgeous flower. The depth of the lines in seashell petals and that big gem brad is well WOW.

This is drop dead beautiful. I love the way you thought outside the box and made that amazing flower out of shell stamps. Gotta add this one to my favs.
