Beachy Scene

It's Monday morning here and I have two days off work - yahoo!  It's the school holidays here in New Zealand and it's also my son's 12th birthday tomorrow, so I'm spending a couple of days with him.  For his birthday dinner, he wants to cook a three course meal a la "My Kitchen Rules", so we're also getting ready for that.

Anyway, I took some time this morning to make a card which covers several challenges:  Addicted to CAS, CASology and The Paper Players.

I created a beachy scene using an old PSX stamp as my focal point.  After I stamped the image in Memento ink, I masked off all but the sand and sponged Crumb Cake and River Rock before using my Color Spritzer to spritz some Crumb Cake ink.

I then masked off and sponged Pool Party ink for the sea.  I put some white gel pen dots in the "sea" to mimic waves.  For the sky, I cut some cloud dies out of Eclipse paper and sponged Baja Breeze ink.  The I used the reverse mask to lightly sponge some Soft Sky ink around the inside edges of the clouds.  Lastly I stamped some birds (which I envisage are lazily floating in the sky - hence using the CASology key word).

Thanks for visiting.  This was a fun and relaxing card to make.
