IO Nautical Challenge

I can't believe I almost missed this challenge. It's because of the nautical stamps that I fell in love with Impression Obsession. Seeing that I was running out of time, I thought I better keep it simple and then I went crazy with the IO Shells C-A-C background stamp (CC122). I used VersaMark and Ranger's Pale Gold Embossing Pearl first on white card stock. I then used a few Distress inks to rub over it, and then I sprayed Shimmer Spritz on it. When it dryed I covered it in Vesamark again, and heat embossed it with Utee. There is no way I can capture the depth of shimmer and shine on this paper. IRL it is AMAZING ! I cut a double frame with Spellbinders Labels Thirty-Five. I used a sparkly card stock and a shimmery card stock from DCWV. I used IO's Seashell dies (DIE077-W) to cut out the shells from the sparkly cardstock. The whole thing is mounted on a five inch Neenah 110lb top-folded card base.
