By The Sea.....

By The Sea.....


For our Workshop this week our ladies made two beautiful 'seaside' inspired cards.




















For the first card, the ladies Die-cut the wave, seahorses, crabs and seashells using the Joy Crafts Dies 'Waves', 'Shell-Starfish-Conch' and 'Crab-Seahorse'. They layered them on top of a Cheery Lynn Die to create the Seaweed effect. 















Natural hemp cord was added to the card for a finishing touch. The frames around the outside of the card are Spellbinders - Grand Nestabilities - Grand Labels One. The sentiment in the centre of the card differed for each of our ladies, however, any stamp could be used here.  











The second card our ladies created in the Workshop was the lighthouse card. 








The paper used  to create the 'weaved' effect was Graphic 45's By the Sea backed onto blue card. Die-cut Buttons were added with natural hemp cord.









The Lighthouse Stamp is a Creative Expressions stamp designed by Sam Poole (CE-UMS147 - Lighthouse). The ladies coloured the stamp using a variety of Distress Inks as watercolours for a different effect. 









Mark Richards Self Adhesive 5mm Nail Heads were then added around the outside of the framed stamp. 




We hope these cards give you a little inspiration to create something similar!

Happy Crafting!!
