Because my watercolour classes (and the homework!) are quite intense, it is good to do something completely different.
So, I got out some stamps and embossing powder and created a bit of a background with some stamped silhouette stamps. I scattered some embossing powder and heat set it, followed by a pinch of sprinkled Brushos.
Then stamped and embossed the flowers on an off-cut (sprayed with Dilusions I think).
Now that's five S words already ...
But, my chosen word is snail, because they come with their own shells!
I drew the snails and used watercolour pencils for colour.
Also entering the current Craft Stamper challenge (stamped flowers), and the Paper Artsy challenge (white space).
Now, back to my watercolour homework!
Ooh this is great - all that stamping and sprinkling and spraying. Such cute snails too!
ReplyDeleteOMGosh! I love this and it's SO clever. Snail shell indeed. I may have to steal (OOPS, I mean borrow) that one!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to use a snail with it's own shell. Lovely page.
ReplyDeleteI love how you worked in the shell! LoL. And they're the most delightful snails on earth. The background and flowers are a great stage for the sweet little snails.
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun! Great idea with the snails I didn't think of that, I just thought seashells!
ReplyDeleteFab page and the twist with the snail shell is brilliant. Love it. I finally ordered some Brushos today. So hope to give it a go very soon :)
ReplyDeleteGood to see a non seaside themed page. Love your cute snails.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to use snails for your S with a shell. I like those bursts of colour from the brushos too.
ReplyDeleteOo, just posted my S picture and thought I was being clever with a snail and shell combo, but have now found your very cute and hilarious picture with the same idea - obviously must be great minds think alike. Love it!
ReplyDeleteFabulous fun page love it and looks like fun to make too.

Oh this is fabulous, just love those snails - well they aren't in my garden! A clever way to incorporate the 'S' with shell!
ReplyDeleteGreat word choice, I didn't think of snail shells! Cute little snails too! xx
ReplyDeleteCheeky looking snails! I love the colours on the flowers xx
ReplyDeleteSuch a cool idea, a fantastic piece.
ReplyDeletegreat out of the box thinking with the shells of the snails.
ReplyDeleteA great way to incorporate shells on your lovely page.
