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.

Wow, Sabrina. This is a little masterpiece. Love that it is one layered. All the masking is so beautifully done.

Oh, to be at the beach enjoying this lovely view. Thanks for a reminder that summer will come again after we are through with (UGH!) Winter!

This is one of my favorite SU sets!! What a gorgeous beach scene you have created with it, Sabrina. The glint on the water really brings motion and life to this wonderful design!
