ID: MC July/14 - Easel Beach Nautical- Learn To Write - card
size: 7"w x 5"h (easel closed)

Created: July 5, 2014
Modified:

There are a bunch of challenges calling for beach scenes or nautical... As you can gather I combined the 2. BIG GRIN

I'm also using sentiment & quote stamps  from Quietfire Design

 

I scored and created my easel from white cardstock. Applied Distress pads direct to paper on the front ("Tumbled Glass", "Salty Ocean" and a bit of "Stormy Sky"). Stamped the otter (Old Island Rubber Stamps) using Versafine "Black Onyx" and colored him a bit with Prisma colored pencils. Stamped the birds and sentiment with the black.

Made silhouette images of all the scenic stamps so I could cut them with my electronic cutter. (Lighthouse - Local King Rubber "Still Life"; Seashell border (Evo); Chair & Play Toys - Flourishes "Beach Life"). Cut the silhouettes from white 110# cardstock, then colored either  with the Prisma pencils or Peerless watercolors (shells).

Adhered the lighthouse only on the bottom edge so it would stand up when easel was formed.

Adhered a piece of beige Ruche cardstock on to the floor of the easel which was swiped with "Gathered Twigs" and "Vintage Photo".

Adhered my shell border as my stopper. Adhered the chair with 3D foam tape to the shell border.

Stamped the quote on another piece of cardstock with the black, clear embossed, sponged some yellow and brown around the edges and adhered to floor.

Adhered the play toys.
