Today I’m sharing with you a beachy card which has been inspired by the pretty colours of the Just Add Ink Challenge #659 and the theme at Paper Players Challenge #647.
I love this combination of Pretty Peacock, Coastal Cabana and Lemon Lolly and it inspired me to create this coastal card. I began with watercolouring the strip of shells on Fluid 100 cardstock. Then I fussy cut around the image to create the shell border adding some ‘sea foam’ with Embossing Paste. This is such a fun product to create beautiful texture. On top of this I added a strip of Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper which I cut along the guide of the printed torn paper. This added to the textured look of the waves.
With the Rays of Light stamp set I created a two-tone background of Coastal Cabana and Pretty Peacock. The base layer was blended with Lemon Lolly ink for some sunshine.
The sentiment had an open centre which needed something and using the Radiating Stiches Dies I created a sun which I coloured with a Blending Brush. A few little shells were die cut from Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper. This gave them some lovely (and easy) shading and finished the card off well.

A wonderful background effect with your Rays of Light. The bright colours are so vibrant and bold. Chantell Just Add Ink
Oh my goodness! What a stunning little scene you’ve created here…I can hear the ocean’s roar! Your attention to those little details make this an amazing card! Love the sun, the rays and the water’s edge! So clever! Thanks so much for playing with my At The Beach challenge this week at the Players!
I love the scene you have created. The colours were perfect for it
Fabulous scene and I love that you used the rays in a color other than yellow. So much wonderful texture, too. So glad you shared this with us at the Paper Players this week
