The CAS challenge Something Beachy hosted by Misti this week.
I did my shells by colouring each colour on the different shells. Once dry I added the platinum Viva-Gold and rubbed it on with my finger, burnishing it. Then I applied more inks with my finger and kept buffing the shells. I used pearl embossing paste for my background and styled and mounted the shells on foam dots, then added the twine and sequins.
Come and join us for the CAS challenge today.

Kia, this is so amazing!! I love the shaping of the shells, and the texture of the card with the sequins! This is just a work of art, my friend! Don't many shades of blue say beach to us???!

Beautiful card, Kia with the "pearlesense" and lovely sea colors on the shells. I like how you did the bg with a stencil and pearl paste. A star in the gallery IMO.
