At The Beach

At The Beach



I got very excited when I found this (free) scallop seashell template on-line. Seashells always bring to mind beach, ocean, sand, sunburn . . .
What better than a scallop seashell to represent a beach theme. Wouldn't this make a very cool invitation to a beach party?

    Hi, Karalee! What a lovely note card! So pretty with the soft coral pink, and the pretty embossed sentiment on it. Just beautifully pearly - so is there a pearl inside? smile - de

    LOVE the card! I thought that shell was a photo, the coloring is so perfect!
    I also like that you used lighter (vintage) embossing powder with the stamp. It really makes it pop off the shell image. Great Art!
