My vision was seashells still wet from the tide.To create it, I used watercolour crayons directly on the stamp, lightly spritzed with water.
A further light spritzing of water before stamping and voila seashells in colour with darker shadows to provide contrast.
Then I covered the whole image in Versamark and embossed with clear powder, for that wet look. Simples...
To finish the card I added a sentiment from the CI-272 Seaside Treasures, embossed in white and a piece of string mounting the whole onto blue card.
Both the Tropical sunset and the Seashells are £2 off during the introductory period so it's a good time to grab them!
Stay tuned, there's more to come...

Moi aussi j'aime beaucoup ton idée d'une foule de coquillages encore humides tout juste sortis de l'eau... Tu as toujours de super idées, bravo. Ta carte est juste parfaite Christine !
