I made this project for my DTGD17kittie747 challenge. I love making scene cards with lots of layers and dimension. The more dimension the better but I may have gotten a little carried away for this card. I added everything but the kitchen sink. LOL!
I sponged a sand layer on the bottom of the card base, masked off the sky area and sponged on the blue ink for the ocean. While the mask was still in place I lightly dabbed on touches of white embossing paste with my finger to create the sea foam waves. While the paste was still wet I sprinkled clear glitter over the paste to add a bit of sparkle. Once the paste and glitter were dry I lightly sponged in the sky using an ink blending tool and a cloud template. All the images were cut using white cardstock and colored using mini applicators. The ground sand layers and sand castle were cut using cream cardstock and the color was applied using a mini applicator. All the images were set attached using pieces of mounting tape and some were attached with double layers of tape. When the whole card was finished I got a wild hair to add sparkle to the sand layers and castle. I applied Cosmic Glitter Glue with my finger and sprinkled on clear glitter. And yes.....I had to turn the card upside down and shake all the excess glitter out from in between the layers. Don't ask me why I didn't think of adding glitter before I assembled the whole card. LOL!
