Beach Scene

Hello Friends,

Sharing a card I made for the Rediscovery hop on IG using hidden supplies. The theme this month was Summer Fun. I love the beach and collecting pretty shells. So I pulled out the shell stencil I last used in 2016 to make this card.  





Products used:
#rangerdistressink (Sand- Antique Linen, Vintage Photo & Sky- Speckled Egg, Faded Jeans), #catherinepoolerinks (for shells) #dreamweaverstencil-retd., #firecrackerdesigns-retd. (bird stamp), #thecraftsmeow-retd. (sentiment stamp)

After stencilling and fussy cutting three complete shells, ink-blending was done on a panel of watercolor paper. This was followed by pouncing with ink using a stencil brush for a coarse sand texture. On another panel, ink-smooshing was done with my NB smoosher to depict the sea, then torn diagonally to represent seafoam. As I wasn't satisfied with just the sand & sea, ink-blending was done for the sky, followed by ink-lifting with a waterbrush for clouds. As the shells seemed too large for the scene, tiny wavy slits were cut into the sand panel to partially cover the shells. The panels were adhered to the card base and finished off with stamped seagulls and sentiment.

Challenges entered:

A fabulous card Leanne - love how you partially 'hid' the shells to get your proportions right. Your clouds are gorgeous - I must remember that technique
