This is my Design Team project for Try a Sketch On Tuesday #648. This sketch reminded me of a sunrise on a beach... so that's where I started. With a couple of brown inks on white cardstock stamped the sand portion at the bottom and another cut of the aqua patterned paper for the sea and adhered them to a piece of perriwinkle cardstock to complete the background sky for my beach scene.
To complete the scene... selected another patterned paper, die cut a sun cutting off the bottom portion to adhere flush to the top of the aqua sea. Stamped, colored and fussy-cut a seagull image, split a portion of the aqua and adhered trunks under the aqua giving it a little dimension. The seagull was placed in the split and used thin foam tape on the seagull for additional dimension.
Using a white gel pen scribbled small line marks along the seashore and in the waves to show wave action. Stamped sentiment in black Memento ink direct on the sky portion of the background.
Please hop over to Try A Sketch on Tuesday to see their Design Team members inspiration and let's see what you create using this sketch. You may want to go over to Double Trouble, our sister challenge, and maybe you can combine both these challenges.

I agree Suzanne, the sketch reminds me of a beach scene too and I love what you did with it AND...you made your own sand! The white pen dotted around to make the foam on the waves is terrific. Very nice!
Oo, another awesome beach scene! That white gel pen adds SO much depth - I can see the waves rolling! Thanks so much for playing at Make My Monday!
What a wonderful scene and love the seagull with the tide in. A great take on the sketch. Thank you so much for joining us in our challenge at Critter Crazy Challenge this week. Good Luck. I hope to see you again in our next challenge.
