Honey Bee Stamps Beach Vacation Card

Hello everyone and happy Summer! Just a short post today... I have another card to share created with some of the fabulous products from Honey Bee Stamps Sunkissed Summer release. 

With the new Beach Break A2 cover plate and coordinating Beach Break stencil set, you can create the perfect background for an idyllic beach scene.  I have added some of the Lovely Layers Small Seashells to mine.  

Pro tip for getting maximum detail on the shell die cuts - before die cutting, lightly tap an ink pad onto the cutting side of the die.  The inked detail areas will get impressed into the card stock when you die cut the shells.  For mine, I used solid color card stock and a coordinating ink color in a darker shade.  

For the greeting on this card I used the following sets: Time To Go Postcard Honey Cuts and Rest & Relaxation stamp set. 

For the sand color and pretty turquoise water I used Catherine Pooler inks: Buttercream, Sand Castle, Oh Boy, & All That Jazz.
