She sells sea shells.......

.....on the sea shore,

The shells that she sells are sea shells I'm sure.

 

Remember this tongue twister lol :-)

 

Sea shell and dolphin card made as a thank you for my sister

who provides us with a lovely Cornish holiday every year :-)

 

The border and inner are from two different patterns by Martha Ospina.

Coloured with blendable pencils and sewn onto rainbow paper.

To Dorse or not to Dorse..........

......that is the question (sorry Shakespeare lol)

Dorsing is colouring with oil pastels.
If you use the Pergamano trade oils they are called Dorso, but any oil pastel will do.

You need to spread the pastel with a medium e.g. dorsoil, lavender oil, almond oil - you get the picture.

Fold a piece of kitchen paper to make a point, add a little oil and spread on the parchment paper. Then use the moist kitchen paper and rub a little pastel on to it. Then rub in  a circular motion on your parchment. Use a dry part of the kitchen roll to remove excess pastel and buff up.

If using more than one colour, apply each colour separately and then blend together.

These two cards have been coloured with dorso pastels.

Thank you for visiting and for any comments you care to leave x
