Meljens Designs Challenge #162

Happy Thursday everyone!! This was a short week, but it really hasn't felt that way. But alas! it is finally Thursday. I have to get through today and then I can work in my pajamas tomorrow LOL! I hope you all have had a great week.. almost time to enjoy the weekend!! I have been spending my time coloring. I have a few images complete that I need to put on some cards. I'll be working on that in the next day or two. On to the Meljens Challenge ...

Today we are starting a new challenge at Meljens Designs and this week it is a fun color challenge!

Fun colors!! Totally made me think of summer! I guess the photo kind of helped with that too LOL!!  So here is what I came up with:


For this challenge I used two images from Meljens Designs: Beach Umbrella is on one side and Brooke At The Beach is on the other side. They just fit so perfectly together!! I colored the image with Copic. I did some decoupage/popped up several parts of the image: the shells, the crab, part of the umbrella, the pail. I layered torn paper at the bottom to add texture for the sand and see. I used chalk on the edges of the torn paper. I also cut out a cloud shape and inked the background to look like clouds. So, I just made a little beach scene! Now I want to go to the beach! LOL These two images were really fun to work with and they were amazing how they worked so perfectly together to make this card! The inside I used some of the light kraft paper and tore it at the bottom.

Sand: E50, E51, E53, E55
Shells: E50, E51, E53, E55, YR02, YR07
