Etsy Inspired Card

Happy Monday,

Good morning crafty girls. I saw a really neat challenge over at the Etsy Inspiration Challenge blog. Savannah gave me the link. Savannah is also a DT for the EIC blog. The challenge is to find a piece of Mermaid's Tears Jewelry and make a card inspired by the jewelry. Pretty cool. I choose Sea Foam Green Sea Glass Seahorse Charm for my inspiration piece.

Gorgeous!! When I saw this piece I thought of a stamp I have from My Sentiments Exactly. It is a seahorse stamp. This is what I came up with.

Materials:

Stamp: My Sentiments Exactly

CS : Sahara Sand from Stampin' Up, Marbled blue

DP: Sahara Sand from SU, Pale blue from Crate Paper

Shimmer Paint from SU

Sizzix Oval Die Cut

ribbon, beads, rhinestones

Ink: Night of Navy from SU

I die cut the ovals and scallop oval borders. I stamped the seahorse in Night of Navy on Sahara Sand CS oval. Then I painted this piece with Shimmer Paint. I then layered DP and another die cut oval and a scallop border on the card. The ribbon was about 2 inches wide. I dissected it. I cut the edges off and joined them back together by gluing them down to the CS. I strung the sliver beads on a left over strip of the ribbon. They were attached with Zots. I added more bling with some rhinestones. I like how the card turned out all silvery like the inspiration charm. This will have to be a hand delivered card...it would never make it though the Post Office sorting machine LOL.

Well, hope you are having a great day.
