Far Away Landscapes – Beach Friends

Welcome back!  So glad you joined me…

Today, I am playing with the current Global Design Project (#539) Theme and sharing with Love To Craft (#91) Anything Goes.

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Crumb Cake cardstock.
• Background Panel: (5¼” x 4”) Basic White cardstock.
  • The sentiment, Friends are like seashells…from the retired Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set was stamped with Crumb Cake ink as was a series of Sand Dollar images from the same stamp set.
  • The Sand Dollars were colored with the Crayola Pencil Crayon – Deep Almond (found in my coloring tools stash).
• Accent Mat: (4” x 1⅞”) Real Red cardstock.
• Focal Panel: (3⅞” x 1¾”) Basic White cardstock.
  • The Beach Scene from the Far Away Landscapes stamp set, an On-Line Exclusive product, was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
  • The Scene was colored with Watercolor Pencils and smoothed out with a Blender Pen.  Colors chosen: Sky – Balmy Blue; Clouds – Basic Gray; Boat – Real Red; Water – Bermuda Bay and Pacific Point; Trees and Vegetation – Garden Green and Granny Apple Green; Grass – Old Olive with Deep Almond; Chair – Early Espresso; Dune and Sand – Deep Almond; and Rocks – Basic Gray.

All elements were adhered to the card base keeping the design clean.  

Thanks for spending some of your time with me today.  Cheers,  Jolanda!
