Sea Glass and Sand Dollars

Good day everyone!  It's another hot and humid day here in New Brunswick.  It's way too hot to be in my craft room upstairs so I've been crafting a bit downstairs.  It's a bit inconvenient as I always forget something I need so I'm forever going up and down the stairs.  Which makes me all hot and sweaty.  Kind of defeats the purpose.  Oh well.  I've got a card to share with you today that I really love.  It's probably one of my husbands favourites too.

I've wanted to use some sea glass in one of my cards for a while and I came up with this idea.  I stamped my sentiment (Fiskars, Simple Expressions set) with black StazOn right onto the sea glass.  I took a piece of kraft card stock which I tore a strip out.  Then I stamped my sand dollars (Studio 112) in versamark and embossed in white on the two torn pieces.  I masked a bit where there is the two sand dollars.  I did some splattering of white and gold acrylic paint.  (Looks kind of polka dotty to me. LOL). I made a card base I (turquoise mist, Bazill Basics) and put a white panel on it.  Then I put the torn kraft pieces on the white with foam dots, leaving a space for my sea glass sentiment and glued that on.

I'm entering this into a few challenges.  CAS-ual Fridays has a polka dot theme going on right now.  My splatters cover that, I think.  CAS-ology's cue card is "Cool".  One of our favourite ways to cool off on these hot days is a visit to the beach.  This card is definitely beachy.  And lastly, Addicted To CAS whose code word is Water.  Lots of water at the beach!  :-).

Well, hope your all having a great Tuesday!  Stay cool!
