Today's card is about an ocean view made with inkpads and make up sponges and sponge daubers, I love this technique because short of using some watercolor media this is the fastest (no time to dry required) way to get to the result I wanted to accomplish. I have seen many cards overtime with a beach or sunsets done with watercolor techniques both are exquisite in my eyes, so I will leave you with my view of a day at the beach scene and the recipe for it:
A vision of a day at the beach, ahhhh so relaxing!
Recipe
This card was easy to make, used 5 ink pads of beach and sky and sand colors using a Spellbinder oval shaped die cut, taped with non permanent tape while with circular motions I added one color at a time working my way up in the beach scene. Drawing marker to add birds in flight, and found a great looking umbrella stamp to adhere in the foreground giving an extra dimentional perspective. I frame the image twice (blue and orange) then with two Spellbinder Oval die cuts I let a little of the oval come out on top, bottom, and both sides to then be positionned on a mat blue CS on white CS for the card base.
Simple and very appealing. I am nothing close to be a painter but if I can do this, anyone can do it too. Give it a try you will be amazed about the look you will end up with. No pressure, just give it a practice shot, step outside of your comfort zone and discover a different to your already talented abilities.
Fun fun fun!
