Beach Cards, April 2025

My beach panels were inspired by Jackie Bolhuis' Beach Themed Cards Here. I love the look she creates with the Stampin' Up! Oceanfront stamp set. But I don't have that set. So I tried to re-create it on watercolor paper cut to about 3 x 4-1/4 inches. I wet the paper first with a round paintbrush. Then I pressed inkpads directly onto my glass mat-the white section. Used a round paintbrush dipped in water and picked up color and added it to my watercolor paper. Card on left started with Gina K sea glass for the sky and ocean mist for the water. I changed to ocean mist for the sky and turquoise sea for the water on the center and right panels. Used Gina K sandy beach for the land. Used Stampscapes Gulls-302A, Cattails-016B and Reeds Lg.068D with Distress ground espresso. I forgot to add the sun like Jackie did.
