Sand Dollar Window Card MFP Simple Salutations Ch2 Beach

Today, Wed 7/11, it is time for me hosting the Mark's Finest Papers (MFP) Simple Salutations Challenge #2 Beach.

Created this card using MFP Sand Dollar mini stamp set that I received for particpating in the MFP card swap in May.

Decided to make this a Window style card using plastic from a Spellbinders pkg. Used Spellbinders Nestabilities Large Classic Inverted Scalloped Circles. Stamped the Sand Dollar & sentiment. Used Spellbinders Shapeabilities From the Sea and some gold metallic foil board to make the Sea Horse. Used Life is a Beach Cricut cartridge to add a Sand Dollar border to inside below the plastic.

  10. Oh Melissa! This brings back memories from my most recent trip to Maine. A naturalist showed us a live sand dollar. It's such a fascinating looking marine creature! I think I'm in awe because we mostly see stray cats and pigeons in NYC! :D Great to see you at Tuesday Alchemy as always!
