Summer Seashell Wreath

Hi friends Debbie here and I’m back with the new Seashell Wreath set from the newest release. Whenever my daughter goes on a tropical trip she will collect the sand from the beaches. And the seashells on the wreath made me think of the time she was able to collect small seashells with her sand for her bottle.

So to start off with my card, I stamped the Seashell Wreath set onto Copic friendly cardstock. Along with the slightly larger individual Seashells in the set.

COPIC Coloring Guide:
BG53, BG11, BG10 (my new favorite summer color combination)
YR00, YR61, YR65, E30
R000, R00, R20
E40, E41, E42, E43

Once the coloring was done I cut them out with the Summer Wreath coordinating Dies. Adding Foam squares to the back of the Wreath and the individual shells.

Next for the panel, with the new Chevron Pierced Plate I die cut it out using Neenah Solar White Cardstock. 

To add a nice Melon color and frame up the wreath I used the largest Notched Square Die. Before I adhered the wreath to the Notched Square die cut, I needed a sentiment.

Using the Sentiment Strips:Summer I placed the Notched Square and the Wreath in my Misti for placement. Stamping out the Happy Summer in Black ink. 

Knowing I would have a bow hanging down from the top of the wreath. There are so many options for bows with Pretty Pink Posh. I used the bow from the last release, Floral Wreath Builder Set. Another option is the Beautiful Bows Die Set.

After I adhered it all together I realized it needs some Seafoam Pearls. How appropriately named are they!? Especially in the center of the Starfish over the bow. 

Thanks for stopping by and stay crafty my friends!
