This is part 2 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.
These 4 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.
You can click on the photo to get a closeup of the cards below - it will show the details and colors much better.
-The bottom mat for this first card was cut from Blushing Bride CS.

-I stamped all the seashells using Blushing Bride Ink on Basic White CS, embossed the piece, and then die cut it.
