Just Us Girls #687 -- WORD Week


Nifty Nancy
 is hosting WORD week at Just Us Girls.  This week, the word to incorporate is SEASHELLS.  I love "Florida" cards since I live in Florida, so I make many cards with this theme. 
I used one of my favorite techniques above. A single seashell stencil was used with metallic sprays to fill the design out. The panel was trimmed and foam mounted on an embossed, metallic card base.  The sentiment is heat embossed to stand out on the design panel.

Kristen Sluhan is our fabulous guest designer for July. Please welcome her and check out her fabulous work at Paper Fiori

Also check out the design team.  These ladies work hard to inspire you each week.  Drop by their blogs and leave them a little love.

Enjoy!  I am looking forward to your inspired creations in the gallery.

The metallic sprays create such a cool effect; it's as though I'm looking through the water at the shells. Fantastic, pretty card.
