Beautiful Shore

Welcome back, everyone! This week we’re working with the new Beautiful Gallery paper pack. This paper is so pretty that I hate to cut it, so today’s card design uses the better part of a full sheet for this serene beach scene.

We get started with a base of some Misty Moonlight cardstock. I chose a sheet of the Beautiful Gallery patterned paper with the boats in harbor, and we’re adding a simple mat of Golden Glow pearlized paper to give just a hint of golden sunset sparkle behind the panel. The full matted panel is wrapped in linen thread that’s tied in a bow and then adhered to the card front with dimensionals. The sentiment from the Scalloped Blossoms stamp set is stamped in Crumb Cake ink on vanilla cardstock and cut into a banner shape with the Stylish Shapes dies. The panel is then mounted over the twine using dimensionals. The new Sunset Coast dies give us our pops of realistic scenery elements with the vellum clouds and gray shadowed gulls. These are all adhered with glue dots to give a floating look without visible dimensionals. We finish things off with some metallic gems in opposing corners.

We’re going to cut the pretty paper tomorrow, but I think you’ll like how we’re able to maintain the full scene. I hope you’ll drop in and check it out!
