Welcome back for another round of inspiration from the Stamp Review Crew! After taking a few months off because of dog shows, I am thrilled to be back in the line-up for another Stamp Review Crew Blog Hop! This time, we are featuring one of my favorite sets…By the Tide.
I am #7 on the hop. You may have just left stop #6: Holly Krautkremer. If so, you are in the right spot. If you get off track, the full blog lineup at the end of this post will help you move along from blog to blog so you don’t miss a single exciting creation. I hope you enjoy today’s card.

- Seahorses! One of the reasons I love this set is because of the seahorse image. These beauties were inked in Soft Suede and lightly tinted with Blushing Bride, Soft Sky and Pistachio Pudding. Of course, every seahorse deserves a bit of bling!
- Shell-lovely! Who wouldn’t love to find this beauty on shore after the tide rolls out? Dazzling Diamonds add a subtle sparkle, certain to catch the eye!
- Banner! Because By the Tide does not have a sentiment, I inked up So Grateful from Apothecary Art. Pearl accents enhance the underwater theme of this card.
As I said at the beginning of this post, By the Tide is one of my favorite sets. Although these cards were not made specifically for today’s hop, they do show the versatility of this wonderful set:

I just got home from a few days of R&R at the beach….oh…how I love these cards! They are absolute perfection! Your coloring is just gorgeous and the Dazzling Diamonds add just the right touch!
Wonderful works of art! Love the variety that you showed – all 3 are unique but beautiful in their own way. Outstanding!
Stunning cards Ann.
You R such a creative person
How fun! Wow, I never really thought about how versatile this set is until you showed us the versions and then the whole blog hop thing. I love the big conch shell (is that what it is called?) but those seahorses are just too much fun complete with their little pearls for eyes. Love the term “Sunken Treasure” which this is truly such!

Absolutely gorgeous Ann. I love your cards, but this is even better and more creative than anything I have ever seen you produce. It makes one want to go to the seashore. Beautiful colors and techniques.
Beautiful, beautiful details, Ann! You don’t fail to please me with your coloring and “pearling” skills. 🙂 I love you included a couple other projects, and that middle one looks a bit clean for you, but I love it!!
Beautiful!!! I love the colors on the first card. I loved the other two you really showed off the versatility of this set!
O!M!G! One of my favorite sets too but I certainly have never made or even seen anything that stunning done with it. You amaze me!
Ann your “By the Tide” cards are fabulous. The color choices, design and execution are all above and beyond. You are a true artist.
Ohmygosh!!! Your seahorse card is beyond stunning! I wish I could sponge as beautifully as you do – simply amazing!
Yes . . . another “sunken treasure”, trying to keep with the theme here! LOL! This is truly just amazing Ann. You are so talented! Love it! Another Ann-A-Mazing card! Sorry but I love that term I’ve coined for you as you do create some amazing cards! 🙂

Ann – you really did show the versatility of this set. Each card is so different. I love the colors of the first card. They are so muted and so pretty together.
