As I mentioned in my other post, I've been experimenting with distress markers as watercolors. That was fun to do with this mermaid from Sherri Baldy. The little Happy Birthday stamp I got at our annual stamp show here last year.
I just bought some Cottonelle toilet paper and it has this interesting texture and I wondered if it would look good as seaweed. It's not what I hoped for (the cricut couldn't cut it for one thing) and my cutting could have been better. But, I slid a distress ink pad over it and got an interesting look. I used the same thing in the shell outline. Then, I found pieces in my 'bits of flowers' stash and some pearls from my beading supplies and added them. Talk about shopping your stash - this was fun!
I'm entering this in Shopping Our Stash (They say it's your birthday) and Try it on Tuesday (It's all in the eyes) because of these big, beautiful eyes.
Please visit both blogs to see all the challenge entries.
Happy Creating.
