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.

Oh, my gosh, Sallie. This is absolutely gorgeous. Your shading is amazing to say the least, giving the conch shell such visual dimension and depth. Makes me long for a quiet walk on the beach .
