This is for CAS108 and the Great Outdoors is our challenge. Nothing says outdoors to my like the beach. I tried to capture an evening sky with the setting sun.
I sponged the sand and water on a piece of watercolor paper. I masked the the half circle for the sun and sponged in the yellow. I then masked over the sun and sponged in the blue sky. I added white water lines in the water using a white sharpie and liquid applique. The applique was lightly dabbed with my finger to spread it out across the water so it wouldn't blob when it was heated. The chair was stamped on watercolor paper, colored and cut out so I could pop it over the frame. I sponged in a light layer of sand on the corner of the frame. The little green sprigs were added to botht he scene and frame using an olive marker.

Wow! Your card is absolutely amazing. You did such a great job with the water and the sky. I used to live at the beach and you have captured the ocean perfectly.

Love it! That touch of liquid applique is fabulous!!! ...and white Sharpies? I didn't know they made them. I'll have to look that one up. Can't ever go wrong with a beach scene! Looks like a fun kit.
