Shell Wreath

  by Julie Warner - The Write Stuff

Happy Friday!

I hope your week has gone well! (Goodness..I just saw it's Friday the 13th. Well sure...the way this year has gone, I guess that's par for the course.) Sad to say, all of our lovely fall color blew away when Zeta came through. Almost of all the trees are bare..just a few colorful bushes left. And this week we've had more rain being pushed up by, I can't remember..another of those Greek Alphabet storms. Will it ever stop? 

My card today features a Christmas wreath w/ a shell theme. And just for fun, I added a mostly flat shaker in the center of the wreath.  I die cut the twig wreath out of kraft, then stamped the shells, coral & fish onto coral & peach card stock using the twig & campfire oxide inks. (Some of the coral c/s had been spritzed w/ bleach, so it looks mottled.) I used a couple of Prismacolor pencils to add just a hint of shading then fussy cut them all. 

The white panel had a large circle cut out behind the wreath & I added a stitched circle frame, my shaker & then a peach colored c/s behind it. The whole panel is backed w/ a darker coral color. 

Here's the inside.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great weekend!
