I covered the water color paper with Gesso using a sponge, allowed to dry, then layered rows of Brusho crystals, sprayed with water and let the colors run together. Did a second water color piece using just brown Brusho crystals. Cut the two pieces on a curve, then matched the brown (sand) to the blue/grn/yellow (water). The fish and crab were die cut from failed backgrounds. The white coral is stamped and heat embossed on acetate. The sentiment is from Impression Obsession greetings set. Assembled and added pearls.

When I see your work with "failed attempts" it makes me want to see your pile of failures! The colors are gorgeous and so is this background! Love the idea of letting the water run down and bleed your colors and love how the sand came out too. Gorgeous card, Priscilla!
