Now you should make a little shadow box for your authentic and awesome beach card and put it somewhere you will see it often as a constant reminder of those happy times! You are so blessed to have so many (and be close to the beach!) to share good times with! There is nothing better than being a grandparent!!

This technique is so easy and fun to do, the pencils blend really great when you apply the baby oil with the paper stumps. It's kind of like water coloring, you just apply the pencil and shade with the stumps.<br />I hope this helps.Maria Rodriguezhttp://www.swimbikerunandstamp.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906821977326854247.post-32577511992735813912015-06-28T22:46:12.690-04:002015-06-28T22:46:12.690-04:00Maria - could you go over the STEPS on how you use...Maria - could you go over the STEPS on how you use your water color pencils like you did with the watercoloring aqua pens. I would really love to know how the procedure and how you get such FINE images. Thanks so much.
