Hey Everyone

Our newest sketch at Freshly Made Sketches has been designed by the fabulous Jacquie Southas. Make sure you head over to her blog and see the gorgeous creations she designs.

I decided to create another scenic background using the pencil to watercolour technique. After applying colour, I took an Aqua Painter and moved around the ink. I then tore strips and adhered them in layers on my card.

I’ve combined images from two different stamp sets. The lighthouse images is from the Lighthouse Point Stamp Set. The little birds are from the Seaside Bay Stamp Set. To create the shells, I watercoloured some Crumb Cake Ink on to the watercolour paper and waited for it to dry. I then took the small shell die from the Seaside Dies and cut out two shells. To add definition to the shell, I took my brown watercolour pencil and drew lines in the crease lines left by the die.

The grassy stems were also created by applying a green watercolour pencil on watercolour paper and used my Aqua Painter to move the colour around. After the paper was dry, I took the grassy die from the Seaside Dies and cut out three stems.

All of my images were then layered together and a sentiment was added.

The team have created awesome creations. Make sure you head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers
