Beach bears


     It's definitely beach weather time....if you can take the extreme heat.
     For this card I've used several stamps from the recent Happy Trails release from Purple Onion Designs.  
     The sky was created by adding Distress ink to a craft sheet, spraying it with water and dragging the piece of watercolor paper through it.  The sand was stamped and colored with Distress inks.


Copics Used:
bear E31, E35, R30
mouse W1, W3, W5, R20, R30
clothing R27, R37
umbrella BG72, Y32, YR21, N1, N3
coconut tree YG91, YG93, YG95, YG97, E21, E23, E25, E71, E74, E79

     All the images were fussy cut after stamping.  I tried for a little 3-D effect on the umbrella, bears, and palm tree by layering with some foam tape.


Have a blessed day!
Tracy

  10. Hehe! What an adorable beach scene, and these bears are ready to play in the sun and fun! I totally love your scene and love how you've made it dimensional with your great fussy cutting...especially love that palm tree! You've made it quite realistic (and I should know living in South Florida!). Hugs!
