At the Seashore

Hello everyone, 

I can’t believe its time for another challenge at For Fun Challenges. This week the challenge is to make a water or beach-theme card or project. I decided to stock up on my landscape cards  that are suitable for any occasion. The little ceramic embellishments I’ve had for years in my stash so this was a good chance to put them to use. For accentuating parts of the image I added Stickels for the light beams and some Flower Soft for the rocks and foam. The image was coloured with Twinkling H20’s and watercolour pencils. At Polka Doodles there is a fantastic Aquamarkers competition going on ’till the end of August. All you have to do is make a card or project which you’ve coloured in with whatever you want –  watercolours, Promarkers, Copics, colour pencils, etc! I am also entering my card for this competition.  More info available here. For this week I entered my card for the following challenges:
