Double duty here - Liz and Lynn's challenge to the CCEE Stampers to create a scene, and Linda's easy peasy WT challenge. Birds and seaside - what's not to love for me about that!
I have seen many beautiful Wetlands cards, so this is inspired by more people than I can think of. I created a scene as if I were looking down - this is like the estuary where my mother used to push me along in a pram when I was a baby, looking down from the road to the sea below . It was even an area where the Canada Geese migrate to in the winter.
Stamped and masked the goose. Masked and sponged the grassy foreground. Stamped the sandpipers (?), added a bit of colour with pencils and then masked and sponged the sand, sea and sky. I added "happy little clouds" from a Mix-Ability challenge with white acrylic paint, and added some Stickles to the sea. Added some colour to the goose and layered it onto a white base. I'll possibly stamp a sentiment in the sky area when I know where this is going.

Such a beautiful scene with this set - I love the layering of the inks for the background and the stickles are perfect for the sun sparkling on the water.

You have captured the glistening water and shadows of the sandpipers so well - this is a wonderful "beachy" themed card - just gorgeous - no matter what the occasion might be, this is perfect!!

Wowza!! I need to take some lessons from You!! I just love this card! Wish I could make the sky like that and the water! I have to sponge things to fake them out. Ha!
