Seaside

This is sad card today. I've made this for a young mother of two girls age 7 and 11 who has just been diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer. It is unfortunately not a get well card as it has spread to her brain and bones. I find Crafty Secrets stamp set "Seaside" image and verse soothing.


  The shells are also part of this set. I took a stylus to the back and shaped the shells to give them a 3D look and then coloured them with copics and added some stickles. the scene was coloured with a combination of distress inks and copics.

Thanks so much for dropping by

Cheers,

Elizabeth
