Sea Shell Shelley

Good morning my fellow crafters. I have a new card to share that I made for Sweet Pea Stamps. I am so excited to share a fun summer card with you. I tried a cloud technique and I was not happy to see my B00 ran out and of course I don't have a refill and even worse stores I shop are out of stock of the B00 refill. So I had to come up with a color mix to mask the clouds I started... I need to practice making skies. I know I have done a few scenes but honestly others make it look so easy and so amazing. I am not sure I like my versions with the whole image colored. 

So my card for today I am using Elisabeth Bell's Sea Shells for Shelley. Don't you just want to be at the beach with her??? I know I do! I haven't been to the beach in sooooooooooooo long. I feel like one of those stories.... mermaids or silkes come out the water and once on dry land for so long they can never return to the sea..... except I don't swim lol. There is just something so peaceful and relaxing about being by the water and the smells and the sounds. 


Here is a close up of this cutie. Can you see where I tried to make clouds?

She's so pretty Shanna and the sky turned out great - at least to me!
