CAS Colours & Sketches challenge #552 sketch

 hello crafters!

I'm happy to present our sketch challenge at CAS colours and sketches for January. The design reminded me of the beach so I went with a seaside theme. You can flip the design if you prefer, but I kept it a landscape orientation.

I used several colours of ink smooshing to create the water, then stencilled the waves ever so gently with white ink. The corner was torn to create the sea froth and it was adhered to a kraft card panel. The little shells and sea animals were die cut from ink smooshed card, some were given a little more ink blended colour. The sentiment was simply stamped with Versafine and clear heat embossed - amazing how dark it becomes on the kraft card.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. We'd love to see your card in the gallery!
