Life is better at the beach - watercolour background
Posted on
Hi everyone
I am Sharing a card today using the brand new Better at The Beach stamp set.
Who doesn’t like a lovely sunny beach day? I love just listening to the sound of the sea and this stamp set just reminded me of that so I had to try and recreate the scene,
I took my memento inks and starting with the sky I rubbed the ink pad directly onto the card, then I did the sand the same way and finally the sea (as this is the darkest colour.).
For the sand I created a bumpy template with copy paper and used this as a mask to crate the ripples in the sand – place the template down and with a blending tool go over the edge in the same colour, this leaves behind a darker edge to create the ripple. I then stamped the shells in the same colour onto the sand, missing the bottom bits to make them appear a little buried in the sand.
For the sea I used the wave stamp from the same set and stamped in the same sea colour. I then went around the edges of the waves with a white gel pen to create a surf, I also did this around the line where the sand and sea meet.
For the sky , I quite liked how the ink pad effect was so all I added was a beautiful shining sun from the Weather Words Stamp Set.
To finish off I added the Life Is Better At The Beach sentiment using versafine onyx black ink pad and edge the card with a freehand thin line using a black fine liner pen.
See you again soon.
