CCEE and Stampin B's go techie....well...kind of!!!!

Frances, our CCEE Stampers hostess for June, challenged us to get our Cricuts out and produce something on our cards from them.  Faith, our Stampin B's hostess for this week asked us to use two die cuts and add some paper piercing.

The vertical panel was made on my Cricut, using the Paper Lace cartridge.  The black swirls and the river rock shadow piece were created with the Cricut, and then I added a few more layers for the final panel.  For my die cuts I went pretty simple, using my circle and scalloped circles dies.  Paper piercing was easy for me as I use it on most cards.  I used the newly released set Sand, Surf, Relax from Mark's Finest Papers.

Now be sure to visit the team blogs to see the rest of the fab designs......

I always like the way your rounded corners look, Joanne. The coloring/shading on your shell is so natural-looking. Good job with both challenges.

Ooooh Joanne, this is dee-lightful! I LOVE your soft seashell image, colors and percing. What a great job on the StampinB challenge this week. Hey, you could have used this next week to do a seaside card. Better get ready for another one! This is really lovely!

Oooo! I love that elegant Paper Lace border. What a beautiful, beautiful card for you, my ocean-loving friend, to frame and keep for yourself! That sentiment really speaks to your heart, I bet. I trust you had a great time in Maine.
