My text may be hard to see - but it's there. I got up early before work this morning and gessoed part of a dictionary page, then stamped the shell on it. It has one layer of clear EP, then I brushed it with dampened Perfect Pearls and added another coat of EP.
The faux sea glass piece has been lying round for I don't know how long - could be ten years?? I was glad I could find it, it was on a bookcase downstairs.
For the base, I stamped the bubble background in Brushed Corduroy and embossed with clear EP. I sponged round the edge with Versamark and embossed with distress EP, and I should have flicked blue paint over it before I did this instead of after.
My main piece is Tyvek painted with a pearlescent acrylic medium, brushed over with Perfect Pearls and spritzed with Brusho acrylic mist. This morning I did some random stitching in blue and cream, and heated it with the iron till it shrank and bubbled. I added a wave border cut from a pretty bland piece of paper done with the Citra-solv technique, and finished it off by adding some Dew Drops.

This is amazing! I love all the texture you created, and that bit of sea glass is the perfect touch. Ironing the tyvek was a stroke of genius! Thanks for playing!
