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.

Love the paper shells and the fantastic shadow box Sabrina. This Unity stamp is so pretty and you did an amazing job showcasing her in your card. Love the pearls paired with the shells.

Ooh, a beauty, Sabrina. Love the mermaid inside the aperture and your shell is awesome. I love your tutorial for making shells and want to do it again. The pearls are perfect with the shell.
