Becky gave us the following lovely colors for today's challenge:
Sahara Sand
Pink Pirouette
Soft Sky
I saw sand and seashell with these colors so did not add the dessert of a butterfly.
This is basically a one layer card except for the added twine and ribbon. I stamped my shell then lightly coated it with a wash of white acrylic paint so that my watercolors would show up on the bg. I did come back after watercoloring and add more white highlights.
