I've gotten behind on everything this summer, so I'm just now getting to last week's sketch challenge. I wanted to use it for a seaside card for a friend of mine who has a birthday coming up. She loves the sea and sparkles, so I gave her both!
I used my Spots & Dots EF on the patterned paper and on the seashell squares for texture, dazzling diamonds on the seashells I stamped and colored and some tiny "real" shells on the side.
Thanks so much for taking the time to look and if you have a moment, let me know what you think!!! Have a great week!!

Oh, so sorry Pammy that I missed this wonderful card. It shouts of of everything summer with those seashells and beautiful blue panels. Oh, how glorious is this my friend. Perfect card precise with cutting, design and balance. Another winner from the warheads' captain - that'd be you Ms Pammy.
