The challenge for this week is to create a card or project that has a beach theme, something that you'd see at the beach or just uses colors that make you think "BEACH!"
PRIZE: $10.00 Certificate for S2G goods!
Whew! These challenges are giving me a workout! LOL! It took much imagination to create a beach theme with the image I used for this card, which is courtesy of our lovely sponsor Shirley's 2 Girls, "Beautiful Afternoon."
This was one of those creations where I had to "let it come to me." In other words, I had no layout plan - Oh no! For starters I coloured the image, then created the mount for the image using Spellbinders Label #8. I used a cloud template to create the cloud background. I used part of a bench from the Magnolia collection to create the "boardwalk," which I coloured with pencil and Ranger distress ink in Walnut Stain, and stamped a bit of grass around the "boardwalk". For the sand I used both a sand stamp (can't remember who it is from) and Mud Puddles. I also used Crystal Effects for the water, and the sun was just a circle punched from yellow card stock, then brushed with shimmerz paint & topped with 3 layers of Crystal Effects. The seagulls are by Jolee, as well as the seashells, of which I sponged on a little colour & glitzed up with shimmerz paint, Crystal Effects, and a clear Sakuka Gel Pen.
We at the Stamptacular Sunday Challege hope you'll join us this week. Remember, THINK BEACH!
