Rainbow Seashells

Hi Friends! Emily Mydlowski here with you today sharing a Clean & Simple rainbow shells card using the Seashell Border Die, Seashell Background Stencil and Seashell Stamp & Die.

Because the Seashell Background stencil has thin lines, I added Pixie Spray to the back of stencil to prevent it from lifting during ink blending. With ink blending brushes, I added a layer of rainbow die inks letting the colors blend together in pink, red, yellow, teal and purple. 

I staggered four white Seashell Border die-cuts across the rainbow seashell stencil background. Then I trimmed the edges of the borders so the seashells extend across the entire card panel. The trick to straight edge trimming is to turn the card over and using sharp scissors snip the border edges. 

To finish the card, I added a black and white embossed “You’re Spe-shell” sentiment. 

I love how bright and cheerful such a simple design can be! Enjoy the summer cardmaking season! Thanks for stopping by and Big Paper Hugs!
