Happy Mother's Day to all of the mom's on the tour! This card is for my mother today! There are many different textures going on here. The seaweed or coral imagine - depends on what you want it to be! is heat embossed on the pool party cardstock using white ink and clear embossing powder. The crumb cake piece was embossed with the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.
After stamping the shell, I cut it out, scrunched it and formed it so that the shell stands out from the card adding interest. My mother loves to collect shells when she is at the beach so this card is perfect for her!

Favor box using the Two Tags Bigz Die for the Big Shot which is on the Retiring List : (
I stamped the Seaweed image on the designer paper that is wrapped around the box. Do you notice the shell image on the flower? I stamped that on Creped Filter Paper that was punched using the 1-3/4" Scallop Punch. I layered about 5 punched pieces and held them together with a brad. Then it's just a matter of scrunching the paper to form a fluffy flower.
My family is gathering today for Mother's Day celebration and I will be giving each mother one of these little treat boxes. The chocolate by the way is Dove Dark Salted Caramel. Yum-O!

A simple yet striking design. I must say that the lobster reminds me of my childhood. I grew up by the water in Connecticut and we used to go out in our boat almost every weekend. My dad had lobster pots out in the water and I remember hoisting them up the side of the boat and waiting to see if there were any in there. Almost always there were and we would enjoy fresh lobster for our dinner!
