CAS Mix Up Watercolour August Reminder: Beach

It is already time for our CAS Mix Up Watercolored: Beach cards hosted by Loll.

There are plenty of fun DT and Guest Designer CAS Cards to Inspire you:-)

Be sure and check them out!

Another Beach scene similar, but different than my launch card.

I cut a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" piece of Strathmore Mixed Media paper.

Then masked the borders using masking tape.

Next used Distress Oxide inks and make up brush to blend all my colors.

Starting with Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilized Amber and then Antique Linen.

Next blended in Salty Ocean,  Blueprint Sketch, Shaded Lilac and Wilted Violet.

 

Then spritzed liberally with water using T.H. Distress Sprayer and blotted

excess water with paper towel.  This gave the watercolor effect.

I dried with heat tool.

Placed  card front in MISTI and stamped the Inkadinkado "Down by the 

Seaside" grass and beach sign image using Archival Black ink.

I added the stamped birds from the same set.

Also added CRAFTplorations "Shine Bright" Clear Sticker sentiment.

To finish the image I used a Staedler Black Pen and ruler to add the frame and Done!

Thanks to my dear friend Darnell (aka Dolly) I had one beach stamp set that

she kindly gave me at our 2018 Retreat.  Thanks again Dolly:-)

We would love to have you join us with your CAS watercolored beach cards.

You still have until the 24th to play along.

Love and Hugs...
