The teapotters are sending cards to Beth who is a friend of SCS Calabash Kish (Kathleen) for encouragement. Pat is our hostess and she chose the theme of Dig Deep and find some good stuff in our stash. This is a set from 2016, but I just acquired it last year (garage sale) and it has not seen my ink till now. The verve sequins are a few years old too. Beth likes to paint and I hope she is not too critical at my attempt of w/c. She likes walks on the beach with her dog, so maybe she will come across a starfish. I embossed it first in grapefruit grove and then stamped again in versamark and used pink ep on it. I saw a similar design of a watercolor wash on pinterest by Buffy Cooper who cased hers from Emma Goddard. Camera pic does not show how turquoise-y this looks irl. Loved Buffy's advice to dilute Tombow multi liquid glue and use a water brush to splatter the card and then pour on glitter. I am happy with how that turned out.
This is also for the w/c challenge to do emboss resist this week and need more practice but it represents water so hopefully the look is forgiving. tfl.

I immediately wanted to be transported to the beach when I saw this. Wouldn't it be fun to be exploring tide pools for starfish right now. Love the blue wash background and all the glitter. Fabulous job.
