My Mom and Dad used to collect seashells and belonged to a Seashell Collectors Club in Florida. One time they found a gorgeous conch shell that had a lavender tint to it. This pretty shell won them a few ribbons during competitions. I was inspired by that shell to make this soft, pretty thank you card for my Mom using the Friends Are Like Seashells Bundle. The background is created using a fun wax resist technique involving a plain white crayon and some watercoloring. Oh, by the way, the word "conch" is pronounced as if it is spelled "conk."
