The other
option would be to make white shells and use colored luster dust or
paint them with powder colors dissolved in vodka (vodka evaporates quickly without making the shells too wet), but the effect wouldn't be as
bold.
I knew I wanted something
bold and graphic for our daughter's new bedroom, so about two weeks beforehand, I narrowed down my
options to four colors then did several variations of design
options on card - stock with Frog Tape and sample
paints.
