shell and flowers - what do you think?

[BritinNZ]

Hi

This is my first attempt at dried flowers and crushed shell.
Can you tell me what you think?
I found that the colour from the shell ran somehow and the tip turned pink.
Also the flower isn't very clear and sort of 'disappeared' into the pink.
Why?

the pic is a little blurred, makes it hard to see properly. I'm thinking that the overall effect is nice.
Is that a flower just before the free egde on the left side of the pic? Which system did you use, gel or L+P?
Oooooh we need a better pic hunny, sorry :hug:

Hello, I've used shells and flowers. Pick your colours carefully, No same colours but matching or opposing colours, helps to stand out. Ive had flower colour staining, if the shell does it, maybe to wet a L&P?, if not, Dont use it again, or try with gel, thats usually ok, I find. I got my shells from www.dsfm.uk.com there were ok, they also do flowers, tons of colours. Anyway the design looked good, keep at it, xx
