Hello there!
I had a little bit of time this past weekend to photo-edit some cards from June. LOL And here's one!
It's another cluster card, done in a beachy style for some happy couple, somewhere. :-) I looked in my box of already-stamped-and-colored images, and thought these nautical cuties would be pleased to get together with one another.
It's my favorite way to make a card when I'm pinched for time: look on my craft desk at the inevitable little piles all around me, and challenge myself to make something good out of assorted pieces. I've honed the formula, too:
- Stamped images (or stickers)
- Patterned paper or embossed cardstock (or both)
- Little embellishments such as pearls/gems, or sequins
- Fabric (in the form of ribbon, or a smidge of burlap,etc.)
- Maybe a sentiment; depends on how much room is left.
I like my cards to be touchable, and have a bit of texture, and possibly a bit of bling. :-) Today's card certainly fits the bill!
Thanks for taking a peek!

Gorgeous! LOVING the beach theme!!!!!!!!!!
Great focal cluster and card.
Love the way you've layered all of the shells and the seahorse together. This is beautiful Colleen!!
Oh, yes, this is just wonderful! I love the little mix of beachy items you arranged on the pretty designer paper. It's always nice to use up those leftover parts, too. It turned out great!
