Kylie's August International Highlight

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!  I am joining a group that is being highlighted internationally by Kylie Bertucci and you are able to VOTE for my project. The top ten winners will get to be part of an international blog hop so please vote for my project.

Do you know someone who needs an encouraging word? Maybe a get well soon or WOW you are amazing; even a thank you card? This is a great way to think of someone that you want to build up and give some love or encouragement.

For this card I used a variety of items to create a relaxing scene to go along with this beautiful sentiment from the Tasteful  Textures Stamp Set.  I used the High Seas Embossing Folder to create the water look under the sand dollars.  I sponged the embossed part a bit with some balmy blue for added dimension.  The sand dollars are die cut from the Under The Sea dies.  I added a bit of the wink of stella to a few of them for added color...it kind of looks like sand on them too :)

The palm trees are die cut using the Friendly Silhouettes dies.  The sentiment is die cut using the Detailed Band dies.  I added a few rhinestones to appear as stars on this rich design series paper piece from the See A Silhouette DS Paper.  I hope that this fun easel card will give someone a little encouragement.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today make sure you head over to Kylie's blog to vote for my project. I would love to be chosen to do an international blog hop.
