What a fun technique today to make seashells. Sabrina shows us an easy way in the challenge forum. I scored, cut, and colored mine with Copics.
TLC627-Seashells by the Seashore
I stamped my images, colored with Brushos and Tim Holtz Distress Markers using a blender pen and watercolor brush. Afterward, I brushed on my ocean water (background) and then sponged my stencil of maidenhair. Love that stencil and that is because maidenhair fern is my favorite fern. This is a good one for underwater use. I used a white gel pen to color in parts of the bubbles.
The sentiment is from a Tim Holtz idea-ology chitchat pad.

It's hard to pick my favourite detail in this because there are so many fabulous ones. - including those dinky little shells, I've never tried making them that small. The feature fish is gorgeous, and I love the shadowy background seaweed Iike maidenhair fern. I'm glad you had fun with the TLC, Brenda.

WOW What an amazing underwater scene! Your brushos and distress bg is so beautiful and the fish and all the corner elements are prefect! Great seashells, too!

What an awesome card. It is so fully covered in colour, I love it. I thought those bubble were from Ryn (who happens to live nearby). Your seashells are awesome. Well, so is everything else.
