When I was little, we would collect seashells at the Jersey Shore and my mom would bring watercolors along and after we showered and ate, we would paint shells. We carry on this tradition when we go to the beach with owen and this year was no exception. Well, a little one;) This time I tried Shimmerz and rubons and bling! When owen saw these on my scrap table he was SO excited. So guess what we are doing this weekend?
I practiced on this shell first, he was a little abused so if I made a mistake than I wouldn't be bummed but I love it! I used some Tuscan Sun on here...Love how it picks up the shimmery goodness.
Here I used some paints...mix of Pearlz and Aquamarine.
And this one was a mix of Pearlz and Ultra Marine.
Thanks for stopping by!!!
