Summer is just around the corner and so I’ve been crafting with the Friends are like Seashells stamp set lately. I fell in love with this stamp as soon as I saw it! The images are beautiful and the phrases make is so versatile. The holidays got in the way for a while, but I’m so glad I came back to it.
For this card I wanted to use a different colour combination with this stamp set. So far I’ve used Crumb Cake along with Pool Party or Petal Pink. But this time I decided to go with Smoky Slate and Mint Macaron. I’ve used this colour combination before. And I know it may not be an obvious colour combination for seashells, but I think it really works well.
I also wanted to show off some of the large seashell images. Unfortunately I don’t have the coordinating dies (yet), so I fussy cut them which wasn’t too bad. For my background I decided to use the stamps that would typically be used to “colour in” the seashell stamps. I’ve done a seashell background before so I wanted to switch it up a bit. I’ve also used the seashells as a foreground which you can check out here.
I left the phrase as is. But if you want it would look nice cut out with the Stitched Rectangles dies too. I popped up the seashells and the phrase with some Stampin’ Dimensionals. And then I added some bling… For the seashells I used the Wink of Stella Glitterbrush and I added a couple of Opal Rounds on either side of the phrase.
Looking at my background now I’m going to have to try some DIY Designer Series Paper with the Friends are like Seashells stamp set. Check out the stamp set and coordinating dies in my online shop.
