Graphic 45 By The Sea Cards - Part III

 This is my least favorite of all the cards made using this stack.  Wish I had not put the row of pearls around the oval.

The flower centers are Pearl Pen dots; the border is a self-adhesive strip I found at the Dollar Tree when I first began card making.

 The only thing different on this one is that I added some border strips to the top and bottom edges.  Just couldn't think of much to do with an octopus!

 Used a different background paper and added an extra embellishment on this one.

 The seagull and the shells are fussy cuts and pop dotted for dimension.

Well, this one seemed like a good idea when I laid it out.  Not at all happy with the way it turned out.

The By The Sea stack is going into my JetMax cubes for a while.  Frankly, I've run out of ideas on how to use the images.

I'm sure these cards get separated and sent to various units overseas, otherwise one unit will have a lot of sea side themed cards to use.

 Some are quite different from the ones posted yesterday, some are similar.  I'm running out of ideas!

So far, there are 21 completed cards from the stack and I have over half of the sheets left.

 I'm trying to not duplicate any of the layouts.  By doing fussy cuts, there's very little waste..

 I used a Martha Stewart punch to layer the hearts.

 The shell was fussy cut from a scrap.

 Some of these use the same basic images.  Each one is a little different though.

This one has a clip art anchor and a border piece from the collection.

 So far, all I've done is work with the large images found in this stack.

The starfish is a clip art image.

I added two small borders on the sides and trimmed a piece from one of the sheets of linear images.

 Super simple layout.  I just cut the image to size and added another piece from a border strip.

I fussy cut the shells across the bottom of the card as well as the sentiment and put them onto the striped card base.

 On a few of these I added some clip art images and pop dotted them for dimension.

 Just so this one wouldn't be a total duplicate, I added a pop dotted starfish.

 The lighthouse was just the right size for an A2 card.

 This is one of the images cut from the sheet of post cards in this stack.  I fussy cut the stamps and mounted them on top of the stamps printed on the post card.

 Another of the post card images trimmed down.  I cut the stamps from another sheet from the stack.

I fussy cut the children and then pop dotted the clip art starfish and anchor.

Each of the cards were inked with Chestnut Roan ink.
