Designer's Choice: Beach Bus Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today, thank you so much for stopping by. Look who's back! The mouse family is up for a new adventure, and this time, they're on vacation at the beach, where there are so many cool activities to do! Once again, it was so much fun to mix and match my stamps to create this little scene.

As very often I went for a slimline style to feature as many images as I could, and started off by creating my beach scenery using stencils from my stash along with oxide inks. On the lower part, I did the ocean/sea using salvaged patina, peacock feathers and blueprint sketch oxide inks. Right above it, I did two sand borders using antique linen and vintage photo oxide inks. And at the very top of my panel, I did a cloudy sky using salvaged patina oxide ink.

Next I did the same texture routine as usual, and to give the illusion of foam on the waves, I dipped a sponge dauber into copic opaque white ink, and dabbed my panel pretty randomly to create that foam effect.

I set my panel aside to dry, and stamped my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and my Graph'it brush markers.

Here is a detailed list of the products I used: • Beach Bus - van, mouse • Beach Babies - ball, bag, sunscreen, shovels, buckets • Beach Buddies - sunglasses, floaties • Merry Mice - sand mouse • Harvest Mice - mice • Garden Critters - sprigs • Kiddie Pool - snorkel, splatters • Balloon Rides - clouds, sun • Christmas Critters - mouse • Tiki Time - torch • Seasonal Trees - palm tree, coconuts

Once the coloring was done, I attached everything on my panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, leaving enough space at the very bottom for my "Happy summer" greeting from Beach Babies that I heat embossed in white. I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and applied a little bit of white blizzard nuvo drops to the splatters to make them shine.

And that's it! What a cute and fun little scene, right? I love the mouse family so much, I really look forward to seeing their next adventure! I hope you do, too! Thanks again for stopping by, and see you next time.
