Beach Scene Tutorial

Good Saturday morning!  I had a great time working in the Rubbernecker booth at the Orlando Stampfest a couple of weeks ago and demonstrating how this beach scene tutorial using my Kittie Kits Beach Master.  So many people responded that they couldn’t believe how easy it was to create the scene  using  blending tools and a few inks and stamps.  I thought it  was a perfect project to add to my tutorials.

Supplies: Watercolor paper, acrylic blocks, stamp images, sponge or ink blending tool, cloud template,scrap paper for mask,  inks: light and medium brown, light aqua blue, dark green, black

Note: I used Distress Inks-Antique Linen, Vintage Photo, Tumbled Glass, Forest Moss, and Black Soot.  Cloud template is made with cardstock cut by hand using scalloped decorative scissors

1. Sponge sand in a V shape on the lower half of the paper using a light brown ink.

3. Sponge in sky with a cloud template. Be sure to alternate where you place the template so your clouds will be offset.
