For my first card I used Flip Flop Memories stamp (C14736) along with Mini Beach Print background stamp (CC316) I stamped the background in Versamark onto watercolor background piece and embossed with white, for the sentiment I stamped the image on Black using Versamark, embossed in white and Voila! 14736







For my second card I used Shell Grouping stamp (J16381). I stamped the image onto Arteza watercolor paper and embossed with white. Then colored with Arteza brush.
When it was completely dry I stamped the sentiment and embossed in white.

Two great cards, but the shells knock the ball out of the park. I love the look of no line colouring and it works so beautiful with this stamp. It shows off the pretty colours.
