Look out, I have been on a roll! LOL! This card started when I unpacked an embossing folder with pretty shells. I decided on colors in Crumb Cake and Powder pink SU ink. I inked my folder with bits of both color and liked what I saw.
Found my PSX shell stamp, from many moons ago. and washed it a bit with a water brush. My die cuts were cut from scraps of card and the dies are from Gina Marie. I just love her marine life dies! This uses the seaweed, starfish, and coral dies. The sentiments were just grabbed from here and there, but I think they came together nicely. Embellishments are metallic gold striped Washi and diamond Stickles.
How about I take this card over to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, which is Anything Goes!
I think that retirement now gives me the option to take my time each day creating cards and do them with specific people in mind. Life is good!

This turned out just awesome! I love the colors added to that fabulous embossing folder and the sentiment is fabulous! Unpacking old stuff makes it all new again, and it's so much fun re-discovering all those goodies we've had in our stash!
