I'm joining the Color Throwdown challenge this week with a fun and playful card.
The water and duck in the pic, as well as turquoise being one of the options, made me think ocean theme. From there it wasn't much of a leap to those irrepressible, irresistable, inquisitive gulls you've met here before.
Aren't they a hoot? I think they have a bit of a Blues Brothers vibe going on with their sunnies, lol, hence the choice of sentiment.
I began with ink blending my background, turquoise for the water and oranges for the sunrise/sunset sky or beach sand, however you'd like to interpret it. To make the sea foam I applied Versamark ink using a sea sponge then sprinkled with white embossing powder - love how wispy the effect is!
Materials used:
- dies - Inquisitive Seagulls (Waffle Flower), Smart Glasses (Spellbinders), other glasses from stash
- distress inks - salvaged patina, peacock feathers, dried marigold, spiced marmalade, ripe persimmon, antique linen, pumice stone
- other - blending brushes, sea sponge, white embossing powder, heat tool, Big Shot, Dimensionals, craft foam, G09 Copic marker, sentiment strip (Paper Rose)
Also entering in Inkspirational Challenges, where the colours match their mood board.
Hope your day rocks and thanks for stopping by.
Cheers
