Let's Shell-ebrate

 Hello all,

Happy Monday. It will be a lazy day for me, at least for the rest of the morning watching the French Open Tennis matches. It's early rounds, but still fun to watch. 

Yesterday while watching matches I put together a card using the sketch from this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

The center panel is one I pulled out of my box of backgrounds. It's an inking technique using an embossing folder. I don't recall any of the details of making it, however. It looks like simple inking over the negative side with ink pads, and it looks like the ink might be Distress Oxide. Any-hoo, I cut it down and used an Avery Elle Stitched Scalloped Frame die to frame it for the front of the card. 

The card base is stenciled with a set of Waffle Flower Layering stencils with the same color of ink as the card base, The sentiment is also from Waffle Flower. It's a really simple card, but it turned out pretty.

On the inside, I again used the same Waffle Flower stencils to very lightly stencil the background and these sentiments are from Spellbinders.

Enjoy your day!

Colleen
