SIMPLE SWIPES SEA SHELL BAY


Hello Junkies! This is Chrissy D here today! I used the Simple Swipes technique from the February/ March issue ofTechnique Junkies. I then stamped The Sea Shell Bay Labels Twenty Two stamp set from JustRite Designs available at Classy Cards 'n Such in Versamark Ink and sprinkled Black Fine Detail Embossing Powder over the image and heat set it with the Heat Tool.

I layered the Eggplant 3 7/8" x 5 1/8", 3 3/34" x 5" Layering Swatches #1 Metallic -pegasus  Embossed with DOTS Embossing Folder, 3 3/4" x 2"   Layering Swatches #1 Metallic -Bluebell, Embossed with Scrollworks Embossing Folder, punched strip (with Martha Stewart Victorian Edge punch) of Eggplant onto the 11" x 4 1/4" Not Quite Navy cardstock using ATG Tape for adhesive. I then popped up the focal image using the JOY! Foam Pads Small to give the card some dimension.

Using the Silver Viva Pearl Pen , I added some accents in each of the corners and across the Victorian punched edge. Once that dried, I used the Cream Viva Pearl Pen and added a dotted border around the entire card.To finish off the card, I wrapped the Silver Cord around and tied a bow!
I hope you enjoyed my card today! Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!
