Jaded Blossom May 2026 Monthly Challenge

  Jaded Blossom May 2026 Monthly Challenge

Theme: Anything Goes

    It's the first Sunday of the month which means it's time for a new monthly challenge at Jaded Blossom and I have a couple Seashell Thank You Cards to share with you!  I made both a horizontal and vertical version with similar layouts.

For both cards I used the Paint Splatters Stamp Set and randomly placed them across the paper using Distress Ink - Tumbled Glass and then used the Shell Stencil to ink over top using Distress Oxide - Antique Linen and sprinkled some water over top and dabbed it up with a paper towel before removing stencil to give the shells a fun look.  I then cut my paper out using the Card Mat Dies and distressed the edges and lightly went over the background unevenly to reduce the bright white color of the paper.  I used the Tropical Dies to make the waves and sand which I also cut out with the Card Mat Dies and distressed the edges of each and to cut out the seashells which I also inked the edges of with a coordinating color to the cardstock I used for each.

I adhered the card mat pieces together and placed them on a mat layer ⅛ inch larger using the same paper as the waves.  I wrapped some raffia ribbon around 3 times, and placed 1mm foam tape covering the entire back except for over the raffia and then placed it onto an A2 sized card base.  I then added my seashells and shape sprinkles as an embellishment and used the Thanks and Everyday Vertical Greetings Stamp Sets to add my sentiment.
