Sea Horse and Shell

Working on this sea horse took quite awhile. I was holding my breath a lot because I was afraid I was going to blow the tiny bits all over the cutting mat. I know this happens from experience! 

I created these by using cream colored cardstock and pastels.

It's all done! I know this is a terrible picture but I wanted to be able to show the entire piece. I have some close ups of the jellyfish and sea horses below.

Working On Background

Here are my notes for my sea creatures piece. As you can see I have my paper down and I am starting my background using this great acrylic blue called Cornflower. I really watered it down because I wanted a lot of the green patterned paper to show through. I don't have a picture to show you but I used white acrylic and dry brushed the background and added the country tan for texture using bubble wrap.

I have the little sea horses and jellyfish already cut out and ready to go. I just need to get the background done...I am on my way.

I am almost done with it so I will show you more in the next day or so.
