I did this week's technique challenge using my Color Bursts, that I have only used once before! I put the powders on the watercolor paper, sprayed with water and then put on the cling wrap and scrunched it up and left it to dry. When I took it off, this was the background. I thought it could look like Undersea for U and Urchin for U (the gold gel pen in lower left) I wasn't sure what an urchin was but thought it might be the same as a seahorse. Haha, not! So didn't want to ruin the card but just put a little gold spiky blob down there. LOL So, that is my urchin, and that is my story and I am sticking to it! I used some green netting for the green and actually some of the other plants are done in greens, and one of the powders I used was lime green. So this is the universe under the sea with urchins for the double U challenge. Loved the technique. Thanks for looking.

What a fun background you created with the cling wrap and your color bursts. I don't think you are stretching it at all for the U challenge. Great job!

Oh, man, this came out great! Beautiful color affect you got. The green netting is perfect. And your bubbly e.f. is perfect too. I like the little seahorse thinking of you! It looks like the image of a big sea turtle swimming by in the middle of your background piece!

A beautiful underwater scene, Sharon! I had to come and check it out when I saw urchin in the title, I once stood on one in Greece and have never forgotten it. Yours is lovely!!
