Under the sea

Good morning all, I hope you all had a lovely weekend :o) My project this morning is another of my canvases, so please take a look and let me know what you think! 


The background is painted with Twinkling H2O's fading from yellow to dark green, then splattered with gold Calligraphy ink to give it some more shine.  The clam shell, sea weed and smalle leaves have all been heat embossed using gold or silver.

Picture hanging on the wall!

Close up of the leaves and seaweed.  I have atatched the shells using silicon glue.

The sentiment is a stamp from my stash, but it is an old one from a set and I don't know who made it.  It has been stamped onto nesties lables dies and I have used cross stitch thread to attatch it to the side of t he canvas.  I have also added gems.

The image is from Kelley kids at the stitchy bear store called 'starlite 5', she has been printed large and coloured with pro markers. I have glittered her tail and instead of usingthe earing in the picture I have cut it off and used a jump ring and small shell to crate her earing.

I hope you like it :o)

I will be entering this card into the following challenges
