These colors just said summer, beach, & ocean to me. The Sandpiper 3232-404A and Nature's Gift 3231-404N sparkle like the ocean using Sparkle N Sprinkle's hand blended embossing powders.
Ocean Treasures Stamp Set 404
This reminds of a warm, calm walk along the beach. Picking up seashells washed ashore, agates, and just enjoying the moment.
During the summer of 2000, my daughter (11 year old at the time) and I went up and down the Oregon coast. We put a lot of miles on the car that summer and it was definately worth it!
At each corner where the photograph was placed, I tried my hand at the Puddling or Splashing effect. It really looks like puddled water. I love it!
Your colors are awesome on the two shell cards, but I have to say - my favorite is the scrapbook page - the background paper really looks like a pile of sand on the beach and LOVE LOVE LOVE the "puddling" effect! Way to go!
