I wanted to continue the CAS Mix up theme and try them out with cling wrap. I stamped the Impression Obsession shells using versamark on mixed media paper and heat embossed them with white detail embossing powder. I then spritzed with water with water before sprinkling a few colours of the magicals over it. The first layer of water allows the powders to dissolve slightly and then spritz again to move them around. I took a piece of cling wrap larger than the mixed media paper and smooshed the colours around encouraging the cling wrap to crinkle on the paper.

The shimmer is so pretty as you can see from the close up.

What a wonderful background, Christine! It's so perfect with the seashells and mimics the sparkle of the sun on water! Love the pattern the cling wrap left!
Awesome! I can not stop looking at this card !! I love how thanks to the white embossing the image of the shell comes out of this stunning background. And the background is fabulous ... like a photo of some beautiful jewel. Great card, Christine ..

Your background is just remarkable! Love the combination of products you use and the imaginative way you use them! This is gorgeous!
Wow, Christine! Stunning heat embossed shells with your gorgeous Magicals watercolored background! Which Magicals set did you use? I love the earthy sea colors that were perfect with your sea shells. TFS your close up of all the shine too. Loved how well your main photo turned out. I can see all the details so well:-) I am so glad you are our Guest Designer this month at CAS Mix Up. Well Done! Hugs...
Amazing!! Love the cling wrap creases over top of your beautiful embossed shells. The magicals add lots of shimmer and shine. Thanks for sharing this beauty with us at CAS Mix Up, Christine! xx
Hi Nancy, used a mixture of powders form Autum leaves and Sweet treats sets, the green orange and blue. So glad you liked the background :)
The Lindy's powders worked really well with the cling wrap - wonderful shimmer! Perfect with the white embossed shells!
Gorgeous card!I will have to try this. Thanks for sharing your technique.
So cool! You can cling wrap anything! This is a great masculine card.
I love my Lindy's products, just don't use them enough. What a lovely & soft natural background this product made with your heat embossed seashells. I'm trying with the starch & brusho technique. Used a glossy paper (Kromekote) and then tried over yupo. The yupo I put a layer of Dylusions After Midnight down before sprinkling the brusho, then spraying starch. Then the cling. It had a deep royal blue until the clingwrap. Got some good effects but while the glossy paper dried nicely, the yupo did not. Blotted up the wet with a paper towel, then used a heat gun (from a distance!) That seemed to help. This one is really so lovely. TFS & Hugs
Those magicals are stunning. Love the shell stamping and the whole effect of your card is unique and amazing x One stand out card x
I love how you stamp/embossed the image first and then did the cling wrap technique Christine - what a magical outcome with all the golden shimmer! Julia xx
Love the card too! I just love shells. Which IO stamp did you use?
Hi Connie I used the spiral shell code D4358, so glad you liked the card.

Simply stunning, Christine! I love this seashell card! The cling wrap effect over the white heat-embossing gives a wonderful visual texture. The shimmer and shine (and the colors) of the magical powders are so beautiful and perfect for the shells! Hideko xx
WOW! This looks amazing ..... love the gorgeous shimmer. Thank you for playing along with the Craft Stamper challenge xx
WOW.. this is what all cards should look like... it is so elegant, and has such a beautiful background. So.. that was my personal comment, and I would've given it even if I was not in the DT for the Craft Stamper.
