'Shell' card


It's not really a shell but just reminds me of something like that, the inspiration for it came from Fleur, I saw the card on Fleurs blog and then when I visited Sir Stampalot there it was again - beautiful!! Any way this is my version made using my blossom nesties, tattered rose distress inks, the 'fairy flora' digi stamp I coloured with promarkers and as usual I made the flowers using my punches, all brought together with a gentle dusting of glitter. Thank you Fleur for the inspiration!! please visit her blog (link above) to see the original card and all the other lovely cards that Fleur makes. I thought this card perhaps would go to Canada for my cousin's daughter's new baby but just found out it'll be a boy so back to the drawing board!! can you have blue shells??

Just logged on and your shell card popped up on my screen. This is gorgeous. Love how you have created it from nesties and flower shapes. Congrats on the new baby. I should think blue/grey would look equally as stunning for a baby boy.

I'm sure you can have blue shells Maureen - your design makes a lovely card for a new baby even if you have to wait for a 'pink' one to be born!
