Watercolour Challenge

Hello there...

I was going to share another Winter Wonderland card today but instead I have a card I've made for the


The time is flying by and if I don't do it now I'll probably forget so here's what I came up with


I guess you're thinking "What? A beach scene in November?" The thing is, whilst I was looking through my stamps for anything with text... This one just happened to fall out and land on my desk, so I thought, go with it...


I only used part of the text and it's Inkylicious stamp that I really love. I used Gansai Tambi paints on ordinary CS and then some white acrylic to get the 'sea foam'


Our weather here today is far from beach weather, we've had everything from thunder and hailstones to bright sunshine...

I hope your enjoying your day ...
Till soon - be safe

OMG this is just beautiful Ros! I can hear the waves crashing on the beach and feel the warm ocean breezes! You are so artistic and I always 'gasp' when I see your beautiful designs! Wonderfully inspiring my friend! So glad all went well with your colonoscopy .. had one 10 years ago and said I'd never do it again. They have another process that can be used so I went that route (called Cologuard ... http://www.cologuardtest.com/)

Your card is so creative Ros. LOVE this beautiful beach scene and the sentiment. The little seashells are perfect accents. Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour!

Beach scenes are great whatever the month - as this one proves! I like how you let the sentiment recede in the card... washed away by the waves.

A beach scene is perfect to see at any season! I love seeing it after a temp high of 73 yesterday and now it's in the 30's...brrr! The colors are so pretty! Love the text and the shells, too!!

OMG Ros, Your beach scene is a work of art! I Love your watercolored ocean and sand and your added acrylic paint foam :-) Love how your text added texture to your sand. Your few shells and die cut frame are perfect for your only embellishment of your gorgeous CAS design. TFS and joining us a CAS Watercolour.

Hey, the beach is always there, in every season, which is why I bought some beachy stamps and dies recently. Have I used them yet? No! Your beach rendering is simply amazing. Your watercoloring leaves me speechless!
