Now that I live in Southwest Florida, I was thrill to see the NEW stamp set BY THE SEASHORE!

I needed lots of thank yous for wonderful Freeport, IL friends who recently ordered so I wanted a quick, classy note! These are the 3.5X5" pre-packaged notes with envelopes which are SO HANDY!!

I stamped the shell in Soft Suede ink. Then I used an aqua painter to "bleed" the ink where I wanted to add shading. It's sooo simple! Then I added a Basic Grey shadow under the image. Give this trick a try!
