SC656 = a sketch with three circles. I changed the two smaller ones into shells.
The shells were stamped with VM and heat embossed with white EP and then watercolored. The waves were made with white acrylic swept over the watercolor bg. The sand was stamped and embossed and then white was sponged over it and white and dark accents were added.

Sallie, I love how you show the waves rolling in and the sand with your seashells. This is such a lovely birthday card. Thanks for playing in my challenge.

Sallie, your embossing and shading of the shells has rendered such a realistic effect, as well as your sand. And I love how you used the acrylic paint. It adds the look of white foam to your ocean waves. A wonderful take on today's challenge.

WOW! Sallie I think this is one of the BEST beach cards I've seen. I love your shells and the sand looks 'real'. Love this.I would love to case this, but I could never do it justice.

This is a beauty, Sallie. Your sand is amazing and I can't believe how real you made the waves of the water look by "swiping acrylic paint" across your wc background - if I tried that it would look like a clumsy mess! Those shell images are gorgeous, especially the way you embossed and colored them.
