Good Tuesday morning. I have another beach scene to share with you today made using my new Impression Obsession Beach Fence, Small Grass, Sailboats, Flip Flops and Sea Birds. I love this new fence die. It reminds me so much of the dune fences along the coast of the Outer Banks.
I started by masking off the water line and sponging in the water using my Color Box stylus and foam tip. I added a small amount of Liquid Applique to the water to create the look of sea foam. I used my hand made cloud template and ink blending tool to sponge in the sky area. I cut two sections of sand, sponged them with brown ink and attached them to the scene base.
I cut the fence, sponged with brown ink, cut it in two pieces and bent and tucked it in behind the sand dunes and attached with glossy accents. I added a few springs of grass in behind the dunes to soften the scene. I sponged the flying birds using a mini applicator and pumice stone ink and attached in the sky with rolled glue dots and mounting tape. I finished by adding the tiny sail boat in the distance and popping up the flip flops on the entrance to the beach.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day.
Card size: 5.50” x 4.25”
Fantastic scene, love your waves on the water, the boat out in the distance and the fence with the grass is just perfect!
wow Kittie, another gorgeous beach scene. Your birds come out looking so real. I love coming by here and getting inspired.
Hi Kittie
I love all your cards & the attention to detail you put into each and every one of them.
I ordered the stamp Christmas morning for my cards this year. I just love the card.
Did you use all the colors of the reinkers on the arch and is there a video on how to do the watercoloring? Also what colors of cardstock did you use?
Thank you so much for all your inspiration!
Good Morning, Kittie, I hope you live close to the beach, and can enjoy it. Your creations show so much love of the ocean. your birds look real, and love that new beach fence, all is ready for a good walk and enjoyment of the sea breeze and landscape, thanks so much…..have a good day. Hugs
Inspired today,with joy:.. good since today is our 55th wedding anniversary.
I’d like to take a walk on this beach! Love, love, love the fence!
Hi Linda, I do not have a video on how I watercolored the arch. Sorry. I used Vintage Photo and Antique Linen to paint the arch. I used red and olive green cardstock and watercolor paper for the card. I hope this helps.
WONDERFUL Kittie, such ALL your beach scenes!
But this one touches me…and I don’t know why.
Maybe the small sailboat enchanted me 🙂
Hugs, Eva.
Beyond AHmazing Kittie. Love this scene. Oh my…
I just wanted to leave a comment because I don’t do this as much as I should. You are an inspiration and have been for over 4 years now. I follow your blog and I receive your newsletters daily and I love the cards you make! I have just become a New Stampin Up Consultant and I really hope that one day I can make a card and inspire someone the way you have inspired me. I know I don’t leave a comment enough but everything I open up my emails I always open yours. If I’m in a hurry for some reason I will leave it for later but I do add a str so I know to come back to that one. I do have some subscriptions that I delete without reading sometimes but I can honestly say I never delete yours without reading it first and viewing the beautiful artwork for that day. I love how you add deminsion to every card! I also love the flowers you make that are made by Susan ? Anyway I got several dies and the tools, Don’t tell Stampin Up, LOL Those tools are now part of what I use on a regular basis. Well enough for today, I did want to leave a comment since I haven’t in so long. I can’t wait till you make some Christmas cards.
Beautiful beach scene. Love the inspiration I get from each and every one of your cards. You definately do motivate me.
Kittie, this is such a pretty card…. I’m going to have to move down to the beach…you’re making me want to be there, more and more…lol another beautiful card…. I’m seeing it on the wall in a beach cabin…lol. Thank you for sharing your wonderful creativity
This scene looks so real, we would walk around the beach. C’est magnifique!
This is SOOOOO beautiful. The flip flops are a perfect touch! 🙂
I love ALL your cards, but my favorites (at least this month)are these beach scenes! Thanks for everything!
This card is amazing and looks like a real aquarium! I very much enjoy casing your cards, they are so much fun to put together and it is great therapy for me. Thank you so much for sharing your cards and your great instructions!
