Pastel beach-themed card with fish and shells, labeled Simon Says Stamp, Beachcomber Shells, Summer Card, Bring on the Sun.

Hello Lovelies! It's been a long time since I collected shells at the beach. Instead I'm making a rainbow of fish and shells using the Beachcomber Shells and Fun Fish from Simon Says Stamp's Shine On Release.

The result is a Bright Beachy Summer Card againtst the finely textured Dotty Corner embossed background. Join me at the beach today and let's walk through some highlights of making this card focused mainly on vibrant ink-blending.
