A Coral Reef

Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well.    I've managed to get time out in the gardens the last couple of days.  Yesterday it was 4 degrees (Celsius), windy and we even had some light snow flurries, but I hung in with warm clothing.   

I wanted to create a Coral Reef with few 'Sea Creatures' by Designs by Ryn and here is what I've come up with.

I added Peacock Feathers & Broken China Distress Ink to the background using the Acrylic Block technique.  (simply add ink directly from the pad onto an Acrylic Block and spritz with water and 'smoosh' onto your white cardstock).

I stamped the medium Coral from Ryn's Coral Set many times over the background using Colourbox Boysenberry, Harbour & Frost White pigment inks.   I stamped off the ink and added more coral into the background to make it appear as if it was in the distance.   Next I stamped the single fish from School of Fish set.

I embossed the small & medium Starfish and the small Sea horse from the sets on water colour paper with silver.  I coloured them with my Tombow markers, cut out and added as shown.

If you get a chance to visit the rest of Ryn's Design Team, their blogs on posted on my sidebar.  Also Ryn's Facebook page is updated regularly with inspiration using her stamps.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day,
Shirley
