Techniques used: Spirelli, paper piecing, pressure embossing, rocking and rolling & applying ink with sponge dauber to stamp.









Turtle is stamped in N.E.I. ink on footloose paper(the sand and on the lg pattern), cut out the shell from the lg pattern and glue onto turtle stamped on "sand" paper.





Sea star is stamped on footloose yellow paper in desert sand ink, sponged with sunset and dotted with glitter gel. Sand dollars were punched out with a 5/8" and I used a stylus to empress the "star" lines for texture. The sea shell in inked in creme brulee partially rolled in sunset ink and lagoon ink.
