Seashore

 Seashore

Just wanted to do some mixed media on this card.

stamps/embossing folders/dies used:  SU Sea of Textures stamp/die set, SU Seashell 3D EF, Unity sending hugs die

Started by running seashell 3D embossing folder through my Big Kick (any machine would work) with a white card.  Inked the edge a little with some blue ink, just so it would stand out more.  Had strips of pattern paper, so why not add them.  Die cut the net with vellum ... dotted the vellum piece with glue, and added to card.  Next die cut the octopus with gold cardstock, and mounted him with foam mounting tape to card over vellum net.  The die cut sending hugs was layered onto scrap of vellum, then fussy cut.  Adhered this piece to top folded white A2 card.

Thanks for stopping by.  Come back again soon.  Leave me a comment on what you think.  Do you like mixed media or not?
