Seashells, Lindy's and Texture

 Whilst I had my texture sand paste out and My Lindy's from last weeks card,
I made another one to join in Lindy's Challenge......A first for me.....

This is my card....

I went with the three colour choices and used Lindy's Magicals and Sprays
I made the seashells from moulds, using modelling clay.
They where coloured using Magicals in Bonjour Butter and Clam Bake Beige.
I coloured the embossing paste with Magicals in Clam Bake Beige,
Creme Brulee Cream, Tilt-A-Wheel Teal and Bachelor Button Blue
to use with the wavy stencil on the background.
By varying the amounts of the Magicals I got four shades of blues.

The tops of the Sprays where unscrewed and I used a paint brush directly into them
to colour the textured embossing sand paste.
I finished off with stamping and heat embossing the sentiment
and around the edge of the textured Seashell and beach square.....

I had lots of fun making the seashells and then using my Lindy products
to colour the elements to make my little textural beach scene.
Thank you so much for finding time to stop by....
     
Challenges I would love to enter.....

This goes so well with the card you posted last week. I love the movement you have created with that stencil and the collage of shells is quite magical. It is perfectly finished with that sentiment fitting so nicely against the wave. Gorgeous colours too. I was just about to shut down my computer when this popped in, I can now shut down with a lovely smile on my face after seeing this, thanks Mac xx

Antoher WOW! card Mac! I LOVE all the texture and the beautiful colours of Lindy's magicals that you've used. The beach scene is awesome, and then to add the waves in the background ... takes this to a whole other level. How cool that you make the seashells from molds and then coloured them. Very creative, my friend. xx

Most beautiful work of art Mac, and my first entry to Lindy's challenge a while back I won so I wish you all the best too... I have some moulds but not sure if I should add bits at a time or pile a heap of the clay into them....maybe if you have time you can let me know. love this. xx

Another absolute beauty. The texture is gorgeous and the stenciling is a great background for the main image. Wishing you a very happy and creative weekend (as it's probably going to rain again it's housework or crafting and the decision wont be too difficult!) Sending hugs, Angela xXx

*Vicki* said...

This is absolutely gorgeous Mac! I love all of the wonderful texture you've achieved in this piece! I love using those molds and you've done a great job making these so pearl looking on your design! The sand paste looks fabulous! Wondering if this is a canvas board or is this a card? It's so gorgeous! TFS!

Anita in France said...

Wow doesn't seem to cover it, Mac ... how about WOW! A stunning creation ... the fantastic background texture and movement ... the touchable dimension and depth in your seashell panel ... the crisp, fresh design ... yep, a stunner! Hugs, Anita :)

Ros Crawford said...

Oh WOW!! Those homemade shells (and coral?) are amazing! The texture, the colours not to mention the design are AMAZING!!! Mac this is beautiful!!!

My Paper Epiphany said...

A mini masterpiece on a card! So amazing! I bet you had fun making this:)

Zoechaos said...

Don't those shells shine. I'm not familiar with Lindy products but they look very interesting here. But then you could make sackcloth look interesting! This is a gorgeous project Mrs Mabel so much texture and gorgeous colours. Once again I leave your page with my jaw dragging on the floor. x

Jo said...

Magical it is! You are one special artist, this IS a masterpiece. Who makes their own seashells? Of course, MAC does. You always surprise us and outdo yourself ...every time. BRAVO! xx

BożenA said...

Another stunning card, Mac. Your shells look like they are made of mother of pearl. WOW! They are wonderful. I also love how you created a little beach scene, it looks like a coral reef just below the water surface. The wavy card-based pattern adds so much lightness to the card. Another card that will steal hearts.
hugs,
BożenA

Pat said...

Wow Mac, another fabulous dimensional piece and love the shells made with clay in a mould, they look so realistic and the colours are gorgeous and so much texture with the embossing sand and then the embossing paste on the waves in the background, and a lovely sentiment too, which finish this stunning card perfectly. x

papierelle said...

I think I am standing in the sand of the beach and finding the shells.

Liz said...

Absolutely stunning, Mac! Beautiful colours and I love all the texture. xx

Heidi MyLittleStampingBlog said...

Papercraft Boutique said...

Wow, another gorgeous and "Magical" card, Mac! What fabulous shells you made using molds and Lindy's! Amazing shimmer, colors, and texture! Love the design of waves behind the focal shell square panel. And I always admire your wonderful attention to detail, like the perfectly aligned wavy sentiment.

Tracey@Hotchpotchcreations said...

Oh my another magical creation, like the last glimpse of Summer. Beautifully detail shells and I adore how you framed them as one then added the panel to your dimensional background. I am guilty of not using my Lindy's as much as I should but am so glad to see you using them you certainly do create magic with them. Not just a card.. a beautiful piece of art.
Hugs Tracey xx
