A 3D Stamped Scene within a Shadow Box Frame.

I had a great deal of fun working on the layers which make up this 3D scene.  I used a shadow box photo frame from my stash to display the finished piece.
Stamp ‘Faith’ onto a piece of 300gsm water colour card in Antique Linen Distress Oxide.
Mask off and add the tail in the same ink.
Remove the mask and colour the figure using a mixture of Kuretake and Ecoline water colour pens.
Fussy cut the image.
 Stamp the shell cluster and individual shell in Antique Linen Distress Oxide.
Colour using a mixture of Kuretake and Ecoline water colour pens. Fussy cut the images.
For the background, cut a piece of 300gsm water colour card to 18cm x 18cm. Spray lightly with water and add Distress Oxide sprays in Broken China and Mermaid Lagoon. Continue to mist with water until happy with the effect. Dry thoroughly with a heat gun.
Glue the figure to the single shell. Mark out the correct location of the figure within the shadow frame and glue it in place in front of the mount.
 
Mask off the bottom of the background using the Mountains & Hills mask inner, press Versamark ink along the bottom and heat emboss with Golden Sand embossing powder.
Glue the shell cluster into place.
Stamp the jellyfish and bubbles in Versamark ink directly onto the background and heat emboss in silver embossing powder. Add a wash of silver mica paint over the top.
Stamp the sea horse in the same way, but heat emboss with copper embossing powder. Colour with orange mica paint.
Fit the box frame together.
Stamp the name Faith onto the frame in Cobalt Blue archival ink and add a couple of the printed phrases.
