Hello and welcome to my blog, my crafty friends. I had made this project last year when I Guest Designed for the Altenew Mixed Media blog.
I traced the outer circle of the hoop on a watercolour sheet and then fussy cut it. Next, I die cut the moon from a masking sheet and stuck it on the watercolour panel. I then inked the sky with Tide Blue, Ultraviolet, Azurite, Jet Black and Fresh Lemon Crisp Dye Inks using my mini blending brushes.
To create the stars, I splattered water on the panel and dabbed off the excess using a paper towel. After that, I splattered Sterling Silver Metallic Watercolour and white gouache to create more stars. Next, I die cut three circles from white cardstock and stuck them together using precision glue. Then I stamped the detailed layer from the Mini Moon Stamp Set using Citrus Burst Crisp Dye Ink and stuck it on the panel.
Next, I die cut the mountains from watercolour cardstock using the Mountain Builder Die Set. To colour and add texture to the die cuts, I mixed the embossing paste with Minty Mint, Hunter Green, Just Green Crisp Dye Ink re-inkers and applied it using a palette knife.
While the mountains were drying, I traced a little more than half of the inner circle of the hoop on a watercolour sheet and fussy cut it. Next, I mixed Espresso Watercolour with embossing paste and applied it on the panel. Then I smooshed Espresso Crisp Dye Ink on my work surface, mixed it with Textured Sand and dabbed the sand on the embossing paste.
To create the waves, I applied a thick layer of embossing paste on the panel. Then I used the palette knife to add texture. Next, I randomly put drops of Turquoise, Tide Blue, Aqualicious and Starlight Crisp Dye Ink re-inkers on it and sprayed water using the mister bottle to blend the colours. After the panel was dry, I used a round brush and added shadows using Aqualicious and Starlight Crisp Dye Inks. After the ink dried, I added embossing paste on the waves to create the foam. Next, I stuck the shells on the sand to add more dimension.
Once all the panels were dry, I assembled them using foam tape.
