This is for FS21 challenge and Markie's Mom is the inspiration artist today. Here is her card. WT115 Escape to Happiness by markie's mom at Splitcoaststampers. I don't do well with lots of layers but I liked Faith's layout. I wanted to use the newly released set of the month *Hit the Beach* by My Favorite Things. Check out this link!!! http://mftstamps.com/
The girl in the set is really laying on a beach towel. I decided to stamp her and cut her out to have her standing on the water's edge. I know these are sort of strange colors for a beach scene but I had this little plastic net bag that my garlic came in and I wanted to use a piece of it to create a little beach bag for her shoes and lotion. It was brilliant blue.....thus the red and blue. I hope you will be able to see the little things in the bag on the scan. I sponged on the water in caribbean and the sand in caramel. I painted little sea oats along the dunes and sketched a couple too many birds in the sky line. I used liquid applique along the water's edge to create the look of the bubbly surf. I added LA to her feet to look as if she is standing there checking for the water temp. I painted the lady with red for her suit and her skin is blush blossom and then caramel to give the sun tanned skin look. I absolutely love this little set.

Super. Just the perfect amount of foam at the edge of the water. Reminds me of the 'Itsy Bitsy Teneey .... that she wore for the first time today. Great coloring Kitty.

Another adorable *Hit the Beach* card by Miss Kittie! Love the beach bag slung over her shoulder. The sea lapping at her feet is such a wow punch. Way to go Kittie!

Welcome back from your vacay; hope you had a wonderful time! Happy Birthday, too!
You'll never cease to impress all of us with your darling scenes, Kittie. Love, love, love, the mesh bag for her beach bag full of all her necessities for the beach. The colors are fab! Your work with the liquid applique for the water foam is wonderful.
