I decided to stretch and use a color combo I wouldn't normally choose.
I received these wonderful beach umbrellas from JenMarie thru the PIF images thread.
I used Michelle Zindorf's instructions to brayer the sand, water, and sky. I probably sponge more than she does tho.
To make the clouds, I cut a small makeup sponge into a small round shape. I sponged SU white craft ink into little cloud shapes. I then wiped the bottom of the clouds gently with my finger to blend them in a bit. I used a white pen to highlight the clouds a bit.
The umbrellas are colored with Prismacolor pencils - they've been neglected lately!
LESSONS LEARNED: Don't think you can memorize the sketch. Print it out. It will save you time in the end. Guess you can imagine why I said that!

Striking card, Michelle! I really like this color combo -- it reminds me of summer days at the beach all by itself! And your coloring technique on the umbrellas is perfect. Great card!
