Tutorial Tuesday - Creating a 'Scene'

Today on Shelly's Images Tutorial/Technique Tuesday, 

I'd like to share with you how I like to 'Create a Scene' using sponges and ink.

Heavy cardstock was used as masking 

to sponge on a lighter blue ink 

to create a 'horizon' line between the sky & water.

 The white cardstock was then turned and masking was 

repositioned on the same 'horizon' line so darker blue ink 

could be added (as the deeper water).

 Using the same masking, the 'torn' edge was used to 

create the 'sand' line with the brown ink.

 By positioning your masking back over the 'sand line'

and using a DARKER brown ink, I have used this 

Ala Art stamp to create 'lines in the sand'.

Again, repositioning your straight cut masking

on the horizon line and using the same Ala Art stamp,

I have created ripples in the water.  This stamp

is designed to use as SAND when stamped one direction

and WATER when flipped around and stamped the other direction.

By laying a clean piece of masking on the same 

'horizon' line, I have sponged with coral ink 

to create a 'sunset' effect.

By laying you masking back on the 'horizon' line, 

stamp the sun 'going down' and a few 'wisps' in the sky

using a foam sponge pod.

Now all that is left is to add some wildlife and watercraft

 to complete my scene. 

(NOTE: A white Prisma pencil was used along the 'surf' line  for added dimension.)

And here is my completed project.

This is a LOT OF FUN and can certainly be adapted to utilize digi images as well.

Why not give it a try ... and when you do, we would LOVE to see your creation!

Please be sure to come back Thursday for another TERRIFICALLY THRILLING THURSDAY CHALLENGE here at Shelly's Images!  Hope to see you there!
