Welcome to Sunday and the newest Paper Players (#701) challenge. This week, Stef has a delightful Summer Beach Mood Board for us.
My take-away? The top center Beach Ball photograph suggested a clean and simple sketch layout and an opportunity to draw and color my own image.
Color Choice: Just Us Girls (#738) and sharing with Time Out (#269) and I Spy With My Little Eye (#17) for their summer themes.
Here is the result:
Steps:
- Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Boho Blue cardstock.
- Focal Panel: (4” x 5¼”) Basic White cardstock.
- Using my Fine-Tipped Liquid Gel Pen, I drew the Beach Ball and added Lines for the Sand, Water and Sky areas.
- The sentiment, Inhale. Exhale. ENJOY., from the retired Sending Sunshine stamp set was chosen because it evoked a sense of summer relaxation and was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
- The Beach Ball was colored with Stampin’ Blends Markers. Colors chosen: Ball Panels – Light Melon Mambo and Dark Pumkin Pie; and Ball Cap – Light Crumb Cake and the Color Lifter.
- Masks were created for the Beach Ball, Sand, Water and Sky areas from a piece of Copy Paper.
- Using Blending Brushes, Crumb Cake ink was added to the Sand area, Boho Blue ink to the Water area and finished off with Balmy Blue ink for the Sky area.
- Using the Speckled image from the retired Waterfront stamp set, Sand detail was added with Crumb Cake ink.
- A small shadow was added under the Beach Ball with the Light Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Marker.
A day at the Beach and a break from the all-work responsibilities. How wonderful!
