I created a shadowbox card using THIS tutorial for this week's WTUI challenge brought to us by Toni - you will find the challenge HERE.
When I featured Gem's seashell for TLC627, I was taken with how effective it was to pair the shells with pearls, and I've been waiting for a chance to do that myself ever since.
Shadow box uses generic cardstock and some fancy (old !! paper across the bottom. The aperture is cut with Spellbinders ovals, and after cutting I embossed the centre front with a folder from Lifestyle Crafts. Added some Stickles to some of the embossing. The mermaid is coloured with Mermaid Markers, pencils and some SN glitter, with Gelatos blended with a baby wipe for the sea. The seaweed is cut from a scrap of a gel print from Stacy.
Shell instructions are in TLC627], I've linked to the first post in the thread.

Sabrina, your underwater shadowbox card is beautiful! Your mermaid is beautifully colored, the use of the wavy embossing around her is perfect! The seashell and pearls finish the look! A delight to look at!

The shell, the coral, the pearls, bits of gold, swirly EF - they all come together to embellish this beautifully colored mermaid image! Wonderful card!

Your shadowbox is beautiful! I love the mermaid in the background and the pearls and shell in the foreground. It makes perfect sense and a fabulous contrast!
