A very sweet SCSer RAK'd me some of these Skittle thingies, and my first design attempt using these had not turned out, but, I'm stoked this 2nd one did! WOO HOOOOOOOO!!! I had to dig around and find one small enough to fit over Tiny Crab--this is a clear one, that I colored the back side of with my Copic Marker--doesn't he look like a Hermit Crab packing his house around???!!! *chuckle*
Check out the way I used the waves stamp . . . *wink*

Very cute crab architecture...Love his castle, it looks so dimensional and subtle at the same time. Clever reverse use of the waves, I would'nt have even realised it was a different stamp if you didn't tell us. The overall colours as so well mixed in tones Very pretty masterpiece.
