By the Sea Watercolour

I was delighted by this week's challenge on Less is More which was to create a card inspired by the song "I do like to be beside the seaside!"  I have always lived beside the sea and certainly miss it when I'm away. This theme also gave me a chance to do some more water colouring which is Game 8 at AAA cards. I used Hobby Art stamps to create a scene which I then watercoloured with distress markers. The design is a CASE of a design I saw on the Jenny Mayes' blog. I used a Clarity Mask for the clouds, brushing the distress ink on with an Inkylicious ink duster which created a subtle effect.



I am entering this card in the following challenges:-
Less is More week 187 - theme "I do like to be beside the seaside!"
AAA cards - Game #8 Watercolours

Materials used:-
Hobby Art stamps - Coastal Wildlife set, Harbour set (seagulls) and By the Sea set (sentiment)
Distress markers and inks - various
Clarity clouds mask
Inkylicious ink duster
Watercolour card

Thank you for visiting my blog - I really appreciate it.
