Collecting Sea Shells and some candy too

Please scroll down to the end of the post for the candy deets.  Last week’s winners were announced in the previous post.

I love this Stamps Happen Collecting Sea Shells stamps.  I have had it for years and think this is only the second time I have inked it up.  When I found this I decided to mooch through the obscene amount of papers that I have, and I mean obscene.  I frightened myself when I realised just how much money I have spent on this hobby over the years.  Anyhoo, I found a box of Anna Griffin papers that I kept for stroking (as you do!) and nope, not gonna be doing that any more.  So out they came and I didn’t even shudder at the thought of cutting in to them.  I also used one of the plain blue/grey papers from the Sea Shore pad which I ran through the die cutter in an embossing folder then sanded for texture.

Coloured with copic markers, I used:

Skin and hair: E13, 11, 00, 000, R20; E49, 59, 57, 53, 50
Dress: N5, NG75, 72, 70’'; C1, 0, 00
Sand: E33, 31, 30; W7, 5, 3

 

I used one of the Dutch Doobadoo Shape Art templates.  Love these, they are such a doddle to use as well.

 

Isn’t that organza trim just divine?  Light and frothy and perfect for a seaside themed card.

I coloured the lighthouse with copic markers (W7, 5, 3, 1) after die cutting
