RI WIW: Designer's Choice Challenge

Hey there y'all!  Happy Wednesday to each and every one of you!  

I hope this finds you having a great week!

This week Repeat Impressions Rock Star, Cheri has challenged us to create a card/project with a Sun, Sand or Surf theme.

I love going to the beach and walking along the ocean edge and looking for shells so I chose to use one of my favorite Repeat Impressions shell images.


I love using cream and gold when I am creating sea themed cards, makes me think of the shimmer that you see in the sand.  

I started with a top fold cream card and then added a panel to the top that was cut with a curved edge and embossed with a "bubble" embossing folder.  I added it to the card with foam tabs.  Next, I stamped the sentiment from the Sea Quartet #8508-U and the Conch Shell #2410-I with Versamark ink and embossed them with detail gold embossing powder.  I cut out the shell and mounted it to the bubble panel with a foam tab.

Now, be sure to head on over to each of my fellow Rock Star's blogs and check out their awesome creations.


Now, we would love it if you would play along this week, you could have a chance to win an awesome prize.  Head on over to The House That Stamps Built blog and check out all of the details.

I am crazy about gold and your card is a beautiful example of how it can be used in a sophisticated card! Great job.

Oh Melissa - this is a beauty. Love the clean and simple look, but moreover the embossing and the curved line really make this special. So glad you've got your mojo back ;)

This is a beautiful card! So simple, but really elegant with the gold embossing.

This card is stunning, Melissa. I absolutely love the lines and the gold detailing. Hugs.
