This is my Design Team project for ColorMyHeart Color Dare #506 "Seaside Inspiration Photo". This color challenge shouts out brush color blending and using many of the colors to create a sea scene for the CTMH Stamp of the Month "Voice of the Sea". This was my second attempt on a sea scene.
Used many colors and just blended and blended and blended until I felt the colors were blended similar to the inspiration photo. For the wave movement white gelly roll pen was squiqqly added... but may have gotten carried away on the waves.
Chose the bird on the tree stump and a few shells for my focal point, did some more blending on the objects using the same colors, fussy cut all, and then placed on the sea background with 3D thin foam tape. Two of the sentiments from the stamp set were stamped with Memento black ink directly on the background.
As I was cleaning up and putting away my supplies... my first attempt on blending was a wave stencil and questioned should I trash it or stash it.
Neither was an option... it caught my imagination. Pulled out the same stamp set and decided to create a school of fish in colorful water... three fish and stamped on sentiment, done.
However, sent a photo to my daughter and she thought I might have stamped my fish upside down... and I had. Determined not to throw it in trash I lifted the school of fish and turned it right-side up and restamped the sentiment on a separate panel and adhered with 3D thin foam tape, done.
Nope... somehow there was a smudge in the bottom left corner... oh no, now what? Brought out the stamps again, stamped over the smudge with sea foliage and added a second one. It was still missing something... added one more fish to the school at the upper right-corner, done.
Nope... it needed some bubbles. Bubbles were added using Nuvo Crystal Drops, done... YES

beautiful seagul card.
Such a beautiful card, all that time spend blending was well worth it. Plus I love how you added the white to make the sea. I also love how long you spent making that second card work. I love it.
Oh my goodness, the blending of your first card is so spot on to the inspiration photo! Love the seagull too!! X
Wow what a great card! I love pairing the seagull with the background. Great job on the blending and the waves.
Both cards are great! I love your background and the addition of the the white waves is perfect!
You have two nice cards here. I especially like how the seascape background highlights the seagull. Thanks for sharing your artwork with us at CC&S!
