Beached Black Bear

Here is one where the main image is seen in a strange environment. I don't think a big black bear would ever be walking on a beach. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Oceanfront

   Wildlife Wonder

Paper:

   Soft Sky A-2

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   Soft Sky

   Pacific Point

   Crumb Cake

   Soft Suede

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Adhesive

First, I stamped the blue sky on a Basic White panel, using Soft Sky ink.

I then stamped the water with Pacific Point.

Next, I stamped the beach, using Crumb Cake, and the grains of sand, using Soft Suede.

I then stamped the bear with Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

Next, I adhered the panel onto the Soft Sky card front.

Lastly, I added a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

As you can see, the water and the beach bled through the bear image. In retrospect, I should have either created a mask for the bear, or I should have stamped it on a separate Basic White scrap and fussy cut it out. Oops...next time.

A Day at the Beach

Anytime I see a parent holding his child in his arms, I sigh and smile, knowing that they are making memories that will last a lifetime. Can you recall such a memory? Thoughts?

Stamps:

   Oceanfront

   A Good Man

   Best Year

Paper:

   Tahitian Tide A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   Balmy Blue

   Tahitian Tide

   Crumb Cake

   Soft Suede

   Mossy Meadow

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Markers:

   Basic Black

   Petal Pink

   Mossy Meadow

   Calypso Coral

   Daffodil Delight

   Pacific Point

   Mango Melody

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Pebbles Enamel Shapes

   Adhesive

I began with the Oceanfront stamp set:

   I stamped the top stamp using Balmy Blue.

   I then used Tahitian Tide for the water.

   Next, I stamped the sand with Crumb Cake.

   I added the sand pebbles using Soft Suede.

   I stamped the grass with Mossy Meadow.

I then used A Good Man stamp set:

   I stamped the image using Tuxedo Black Memento. The lines of the water and sand are visible, but will be covered up with markers.

Next, I colored the images using markers:

   Basic Black - His Hair

   Petal Pink - Skin Tone

   Mossy Meadow - His Shirt

   Calypso Coral - Her T-Shirt

   Daffodil Delight - Her Hair

   Pacific Point - His Jeans

   Mango Melody - Her Pants (Ocean lines seeped through and gave it a tie-dyed look.) *If you want to avoid the lines, then stamp the image first and mask it. Then add the Oceanfront images.

I then took the sentiment from the Best Year stamp set and added it to the bottom of the card using Tuxedo Black Memento.

The Basic White panel was adhered to the Basic Black panel and then onto the card front.

Lastly, I added a couple of pebble enamel shapes and adhered the other Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

HAPPY STAMPING!

Beach Front

This is definitely a beautiful, peaceful day at the beach. The water looks so cool and inviting. What do you think?

Beach Front

Stamps:

   Oceanfront

   Special Moments

Paper:

   Bermuda Bay A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Basic White 5 1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   Coastal Cabana

   Bermuda Bay

   Crumb Cake

   Cinnamon Cider

   Evening Evergreen

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Pebbles Enamel Shapes

   Adhesive

First, I stamped the sky, using Coastal Cabana.

I then used Bermuda Bay for the water. This is the next stamp in line.

The sand was stamped using Crumb Cake. 

I then added a bit of gritty sand in Cinnamon Cider.

The grasses were stamped in Evening Evergreen.

Next, I added a birthday sentiment, using Tuxedo Black Memento.

Lastly, I added a few pebbles and adhered the panel to a Basic Black matte and then onto the Bermuda Bay card front. The other Basic White panel was adhered to the inside of the card.

Note, that I stamped everything in the center of the Basic White panel, making this a vertical card. Still, if you decide to include a friend, I made this card with a friendship stamp (from the same Special Moments stamp set) and made the card a horizontal image. You stamp the image to the left of the panel and add the sentiment on the right, or vice-versa. What do you think?

Beach Front Too
