To one of the kindest, most beautiful people I know...Tracey. She's been a ray of sunshine since I've met her. She's one of those people that when you part company you always feel like you're in a much better mood after being in her presence. This was for her birthday that was in May.
I took inspiration from 3 different cards I saw on pinterest. Of course all these months later now that I sit to blog, I have no idea what the cards were, I just remember that there was 3 cards I liked and took from each of them and meshed them into what I created. I always like to give credit where credit is due, so I apologize that I'm not able to. I began by creating my sunrise (?) or is it a sunset (?), I was having this discussion with my best friend on the phone as I was creating the scene. I used post it notes to mask off where the ocean would be and used a circle punch negative and positive for the sun. I used Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Pacific Point, and Night of Navy for the sky. Next I used the Beach Scene Builder to create a mask for my ocean and sand. I used Tempting Turquoise and Pacific Pointe for the Ocean. Crumb Cake ink, and Sahara Sand and Wheat Versamagic chalk inks for the sand. I used SU markers to create a pebbled look on the sand. Then (for my very first time) I used Copic Opaque White ink, thinned it and splattered it over my panel with a paint brush. I have to say I was SO nervous to do this. I thought for sure I'd ruin all the work I put into my scene. I followed up the Opaque White splatters with some water splatters (also for my first time) on the ocean. I stamped the seagulls from the Seaside Seagulls in memento ink on neenah, coloring with copics and die cut them. Then used the Cute Cloud Outlines die-namics in white, with stickles on it. I stamped my sentiment on black carstock with versamark ink and embossed it with white embossing powder. Layered my panel on white and crumb cake.
Thank you for taking a look at my blog!
