I am sharing a tutorial with Mixed Media Mojo today on this sea inspired mixed media canvas. This month's theme is Summertime with an option to use Shells. To join in the challenge click HERE.
I won't give away all of the details, to find out more visit Mixed Media Mojo, but here are some closeups for you. I used Christine Adolph shell stamps by Stampington & Co., from 2005. The boat stamp is by Coronado Island Stamping circa 2004.
I definitely added the fluff back into my work, no? LOL!
I had such a great time creating this project and appreciate your support and kind comments. <3
I'm also sharing with:
