Sand and Sea Square Split Panel Card

by Joanne James20. March 2021 22:00

A quick post from me this evening with a card inspired by the following challenges:

      

I don't often use diagonals, but funnily enough had designed a rectangular card using a layout similar to Jen's Freshly Made Sketches design for this month's class featuring the Friends Are Like Seashells bundle (I can't share that one yet as I don't want to spoil the surprise for the ladies attending Monday's class!) so decided to change it up and make an altered square version along with blue, patterned paper and square card from the Festive Friday inspo list to create another card using the Sand and Sea Suite - take a look:

 

Here's the low-down on today's card:

I used some sand and sea-inspired DSP for my background triangles, cutting the blue sea piece freehand along the line of the waves for a more natural effect, placing my sentiment in a stitched square in the centre and embellishing it with a selection of shells, seaweed, pearls and split braided linen trim. I used some of the pearlescent paper for my large, embossed shell - isn't it so pretty?

 

I just love the sentiments in this set too; this is how I finished the inside of my card:

 

Here is the visual summary of the key products used on today's project for you to pin for easy reference:

 

You can see all of my 'How To' summaries on my 'How To - Tips and Techniques' Pinterest board in case you've missed any. 

That's all from me; I'll be back tomorrow with another project for our new challenge over at The Paper Players. Until then, happy stampin'!

Oh, I love how you used the diagonals to create the sand and sea.  So clever!  And the seashells and other embellishments are so pretty together.  Thanks for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches!

Hi there
I'm actually from Mauritius, but you don't give that option.
Your card is a stunning take on the sketch! Would have been in the winner in my book!

Oh I really love this card. Love your design especially the diagonal split of sand and sea. And that bit of braided trim is the perfect finish for this beauty. Thanks for sharing with us at Festive Friday.
