The Sand, Water and Sky Background
The sand was created using Antique Linen ink, a stylus tool and foam tip. Next, I used Tumbled Glass ink to create a darker shade for the water and attempted to make it look like high rolling waves for surfing, and then applied a lighter shade of blue using the same ink and a cloud template. I heat dried the ink and then applied white embossing paste to the water area to create the appearance of sea foam and then sprinkled it with clear glitter to add sparkle.
The Frame
The frame was cut using the Impression Obsession Rectangle 6-in-1 Frames. I turned the frames face down and attached the two pieces together using double stick tape. Next, I applied thin strips of mounting tape to the back of the frame and attached it over the beach scene background.
The Woody and Plane
The Woody was cut using both red and woodgrain cardstock. The different sections were turned face down and attached together using double stick tape. I wanted the tires to look a little oversized so I used a circle punch to cut two black circles and then attached the red die cut wheels with glossy accents. I cut the surfboard twice in yellow and blue and attached to the top of the car with double stick tape.
The plane was cut using bright yellow cardstock and the banner was cut using white cardstock. I cut two thin strips of red cardstock and attached them to the plane using glossy accents to add interest and break up the yellow. I used a black marker to hand write the Surf’s Up sentiment on the banner.
Assembling the Die Cut Woody and Surf Boards
I cut one section of the beach fence and applied Vintage Photo ink to color it. I cut a few sections of the Small Grass using green cardstock. I cut the beach fence in half and gently bent the sections to create an old appearance. I tucked the fence sections in behind the frame and attached them in place with glossy accents. Next, I tucked the grass sections behind and around the fence sections and attached with glossy accents. The Woody, plane and banner were attached to the frame using mounting tape to complete the scene.
I hope you have enjoyed seeing my die cut Woody and surf boards beach scene card. Thanks for coming by and I hope you have a great day.
