Just Us Girls Challenge #687 - Word Week - Much Appreciocean Seashells (Your Next Stamp, MFT)

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #687, where our lovely hostess, Nancy, has selected SEASHELLS as this week's Word inspiration. 

Once again, we're delighted to have Kristin Shulan joining us as our July Guest Designer.

Because we don't have many (if any, actually) seashell-type beaches in my part of Alberta, I haven't had a need for anything shell/beach themed. BUT, when I spotted the Waves and Shells stencil at Your Next Stamp (which, sadly, are closing down), I knew I had to have it. Ohmystars! It is sturdy, pretty and all-around fun to use! I used an assortment of Concord & 9th inks for the shells, as well as for the trio of sea creatures, which are from an older MFT set. The sentiment is part of that same collection, stamped on a layered label die from MCT. I love when quality products make me feel all artsy! LOL!


Looking forward to seeing your SEASHELLS-inspired cards/projects in the gallery.

Thank you for dropping by!
