This is part 4 of a 4 part series of cards featuring the Friends are Like Seashells Bundle which includes the Friends Are Like Seashells Stamp Set and the Seaside Seashells Dies, and the coordinating Seashells 3D Embosssing Folder all from the May 2021-April 2022 Annual Catalog.

This card was CASED from one I saw on You Tube made by WOW NOLA Creations - if you haven't used Stampin' Blends with Rubbing Alcohol on Vellum you might want to watch this video and others before you proceed with this card.

You can click on the photo to get a closeup of the card below - it will show the details and colors much better.

-The bottom mat for this card was cut from Granny Apple Green CS.

-I colored some Pretty Peacock and Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends " splotches" on a piece of Vellum and then used 90+%  Rubbing Alcohol to blend and spread the colors. 

-Next I carefully embossed the vellum using the Seashells Embossing Folder.

-To bring out the colors you add the Vellum piece to a piece of Whisper White CS.

-I wanted a bit more emphasis on the seashells so I stamped the various seashell and grasses stamps on the vellum over top of the embossing using Whisper White Ink.

-The sentiment is from the featured set and was stamped on a piece of Whisper White CS using Pretty Peacock Ink and cut out using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.  I cut a piece of Granny Apple Green CS using one of the larger dies in the set and then popped up the first piece on the top.

-Lastly I added a few Opal Rounds that I colored with the Stampin' Blends listed above.

These 3 cards were all made similarly using the featured set.  I did all my stamping using the Stamparatus, it took me quite a while to get the pieces lined up on the various clear plates but it was worth the time and gave me the ability to use all the same color on the seashells or a combination of one or more different colors.
