Seashore

Hope you're having a great day!



SUPPLIES:

Stamps - Stampin' Up! SEASIDE shells, O'scrap! words
Stencil - Altenew FLOWING DROPS
Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black
Watercolors - Grumbacher Transparent
Other - flower petal rounding tool, paintbrushes, scrap netting fabric, foam mounting tape
Cardstock - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110 lb


TECHNIQUE:  

1.  Temporarily adhere stencil to white cardstock
2.  Use wet paintbrush to apply blue and tan watercolors on top of stencil. 
(TIP * Paint partial areas, letting paint settle in before coming back with another color)
3.  Remove stencil and allow panel to dry completely.
4.  Lay stencil back in place and use a fine point black marker to trace around all stencil edges.
5.  Stamp shell images on white cs using black ink.  
6.  Use a damp brush to add coloring to shells.  Allow to dry.
7.  Fussy cut shells, and lay them facedown on foam mat.  Use a petal rounder to round shells 
(TIP * Start at the center with small circles and widen circles as you work your way out to edges, using even pressure.  I find heavy cardstock is best.)
8.  On white cs stamp words in black ink.
9.  Adhere netting scrap to panel (TIP * I find Gina K. Connect glue to give me the best results I've had yet gluing something awkward like this).
10.  Adhere word panel over netting, and attach shells using foam mounting tape.







Thanks for stopping by!
May you be blessed today, and may you be a blessing...
