We had a wonderful time at Lynette's place yesterday. She made lunch and dinner for us: home made crab salad and a tossed salad! I brought some zucchini bread and a bottle of Trader Joe's Espiral Vinho Verde Rosé. Afterward, we enjoyed a walk in the neighborhood and and stopped for ice cream cones. Then we worked on card making. We were very productive. Thanks to Lynette I now have a bunch of birthday cards ready to send out!

Our inspiration for our shell cards came from Janet a.k.a. swanlady21's blogpost called Wave.
Embossing folder: Cuttlebug D'vine Swirl
1-1/2 inch circle punch
Stamps: Michael Strong's Mini Cloisone Creatures, Stampendous Happy Birthday
Dies: Gina K Fluttering Fall layering bundle; Sizzix T.H. Alterations Wildflowers 6611808
Inks: Gina K blue raspberry, peach bellini, lucky clover, applemint
Inks on die cuts: Gina K apple mint and peach bellini
I forgot to add some color for "sand" before I attached the embossed layer. I used a blending brush then a blending stump to add some Gina K kraft ink.
I like how Lynette turned her embossed layer over because the back looks more like waves. She used a shell stamp from her stash, inking it with Gina K blue raspberry ink. She dabbed assorted colors on her die cut. She created the sandy area inside the circle opening by stamping with a tiny stamp from her stash.
We made some Sunflower cards with Stampin UP's Summer Sunflowers set from 2000! So glad I kept this set!

Inks:
Our leaves cards were inspired by Beth Silaika's Fall Autumn Leaves card. If you visit her blog, it is the fourth card down.
Lynette figured out the placement of the leaves and I copied it!
Stamps:
Stampin' Up- Autumn Leaves, Itty Bitty Background
I think the Birthday Wishes sentiment stamp is from Stampin' Up.
Not sure if the Autumn sentiment is from Hero Arts?

Thanks so much for visiting!
Peace and all good!
