Happy Monday, friends! It's Walter on the blog with you today and this week's theme is the outdoors. We're now in the last weeks of summer and I thought it was fitting to use this theme to offer the last of the beach scenes for the year. I used some beautiful stamp sets from Chou & Flowers to create the scene. It's an overall simple card created with just stamping, a little fussy cutting, and a lot of coloring.
I began by stamping my A2 background panel using the Summer Souvenirs - Beach Huts stamp set and Versafine Clair Nocturne ink. The row of beach huts fits perfectly onto the panel to provide a perfect beach background. I then took the sand detail stamp from the View of Paradise stamp set and repeat stamped it around the sand area of the scene using a medium brown ink.
I colored my panel starting with the sand. I use Ohuhu alcohol markers as I find they blend nicely and are cost-effective alternative vs. other brands. I used a darker tan color called Khaki to go around the edges and then used a lighter tan color called Sand to fill in and blend it all together. I then used several shades warm gray, neutral gray, blue, and red to finish the scene. I went over the areas that I left white with a white gel pen to add some texture and make them pop.
I then stamped my beach umbrella, beach chair, and beach accessories using stamps from the View of Paradise stamp set using Versafine Clair Nocturne ink.
I hope that you enjoy this card! Are you sad to see summer coming to an end or are you happy that fall is right around the corner? Let me know in the comments below! I'll see you again next week for some more creative fun. Until then . . . be well!
