I mailed out the only remaining Tyvek creation in my stash a couple of weeks back, so yesterday I pulled out some more Tyvek and sponged it with DOX inks. This morning I stamped the flourish in Versamark, added gold EP and heated to distort the Tyvek.
Then I saw Judy's TLC challenge Coloring Mediums and knew I could incoporate my background. I stamped the seahorse onto watercolour paper and coloured with Marvy markers and a blender pen. I never use them for colouring except for a challenge, and I know why. Some colours move beautifully - the ochre did, the pumpkin barely budged. One green did, two greens didn't. Anyway, I used them for my seahorse and also for the coral border.
I stitched some seed beads into the background and also stuck on some little resin crystals. Added my coral border and some weed cut from a scrap of cling wrap background. Fussy-cut and added my seahorse, adding SN clear glitter to his fins.
I embossed a piece of cream card with the Taylored Expressions Weathered ef, and used tape to stick my underwater panel onto it.

This is quite simply - stunning! I am still trying to take it all in. I have never heard of coloring with markers and a blender pen before so this is news to me. I am glad to know some markers move better than others do. You sure made your coloring sing on these images along with all the other techniques you used here to create this gorgeous card. This looks like a magnificent piece of art that should be hanging in a gallery somewhere. ~Karen.

This is amazing! Wish I knew what Tyvek is and what you did with it to create such a yummy background!

I am blown away by this fabulous mixed media eye candy. This is sooo creative and amazing. When I have time I have to look up what tyvek is, but you sure created an amazing bg with it. Love thus to bits, my friend.

Ditto what everyone else said, especially Sallie - you really do put SO much effort and talent into every card you make. I am in awe of your cards Sabrina and I never fail to learn something new. Now I'm off to find out what Tyvek is!
