Serene Beach

The Limited Supply Challenge on SCS was to to use beach images or themes.  I have lots of beach themed stamps that would have been fun to play with but I felt in the mood to try my hand at a hand painted scene.

KC Ocean Scene

I created a mask using my largest square Nestabilites die.  I wanted to have a plain border around the scene.  I sponged in the water and sand using a Color Box stylus and sponge tip.  I hand painted the palm trees and grassy areas using a small brush.  I used a hand cut scalloped cloud template to sponge in the sky.  I added sea foam to the water’s edge by dabbing on Liquid Appliqué  and heating it. When I was finished I decided there was no need for an embellishment as it would only distract.

Stamps:  None   Ink:  Vintage Photo, Peeled Paint, Cool Caribbean, Barely Banana   Paper:  Fabriano Note Card 5”x5”  Accessories:  Brushes, Sponges, Stylus and Tip, Cloud Template
