We Have A Seaside Theme This Week!
Welcome to our Saturday Blog Hop at Create With Connie & Mary! Being from Maine, we have a lot of coastal area surrounding our state. It’s always a pleasure to visit or vacation our coastal towns and as stampers, we all love beach and ocean-themed products that remind us of the coast. I used a lot of layers on my card today and I hope it gives you an inkling of loving our seaside theme this week.
I love how I layered all of the stamped and diecut elements into the open circle and over a layer of watercolored paper that I added inks to. Can you see the raised areas of the embossed layer? I used one of the embossing folders from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders set:
