Hi there!
It is time once again for a new challenge on the Serendipity Stamps Challenge Blog. The challenge for this week is to create a background using non-background stamps. This is right up my alley!
I used the Shell Cling Set for this background. I started by wetting my cardstock with an Aquapainter, and then brushing on some ink from the lid of my inkpad. While the cardstock was still a little wet, I stamped the shells and flicked some ink onto the design. The ink ran just a little bit as it dried. I love the washed-out effect it has, especially for these shell images.

I added a strip of embossed cardstock to help offset my sentiment. I again debated about leaving the sentiment off, but this one goes so well with these images. Thanks for stopping by today!
