The Beach

An evening walk along the shoreline, listening to the waves and watching the sunset is one of the most relaxing activities you can do during the hot humid summer nights. This is the thought that popped into my brain when I was challenged to depict a beach scene on a card front. Unfortunately, I do not always have the stamps to match the image in my head. So, here is the closest to it.

Stamps:

   High Tide

   Sweetly Swirled

Paper:

   Pool Party A-2

   Whisper White 5 1/4 x 4

   Crumb Cake 5 1/4 x 2 

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

   Crumb Cake

   Daffodil Delight

   Delightful Dijon

   Pool Party

Technique:

   Sponging

   Tearing

Accessories:

   Sponge

   Adhesive

The Crumb Cake card stock edge is torn toward you to create that rough edge. The grass/weeds are stamped with Delightful Dijon, and the sky is sponged with Daffodil Delight. I used Pool Party for the water and Black Memento for the birds and sentiment. The Crumb Cake is stamped on the Crumb Cake card stock to create the rough look of sand.
