Time for another speed challenge at this round's As You See It #301 - and I picked seashells! Start the clock! As I usually do for a speed challenge, I made a lot of design decisions ahead of time, along with my plan of attack, lol, so I could get all my supplies ready. This time, I also mounted all my stamps on individual blocks and set them ready to hand, even! I started by choosing this perfect shell sheet from the now-retired By The Bay DSP that was originally released with the set. Then I got my cardstocks out, and my inks, ready to, along with my Blender Pen and Wink of Stella. I am never so prepared, lol. It all went on rails, except for having to do my sentiment a second time, when Sophie the lab wanted to see what I was doing with the Big Shot, sigh. I also slapped on some Night of Navy Baker's Twine I hadn't set out ahead, but I still had time! I can't wait to see YOUR speedy seashell creations - meet you at the challenge! Seaside Bay Stamp Set; By The Bay DSP (retired); Basic White & Sahara Sand (retired) CS; Night of Navy, Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam & Sahara Sand (retired) Inks; Blender Pen; Clear Wink of Stella; Seaside Bay & Layered Essentials Dies; Night of Navy Baker's Twine; Flat Pearls; #AYSI301.

This is such a great design Heather - clearly we were on the same lines with our designer paper background, such a great timesaver! Your single blue stamped shell looks so realistic and the pearl makes a great centrepiece. I did chuckle that your 'helpful' lab almost thwarted your plans, but rest assured you nailed it - a beautiful beachy card!

What a gift this paper was to the challenge - a perfect choice. For speed, you can't beat a great DSP. Love the addition of the twine too. I often have something set aside for if there's time in a speed challenge but it doesn't always make the cut. :-)

This was a great theme Heather! Now that my card is done - I have realized how many seashell stamps I have! I adore the vibrancy of your card - that shell pops! Beautiful!
