A Beach Maybe?

I had this idea and it went totally somewhere else.  I used the Impression Obsession stamp, Lanterns, that I kept seeing in a beach scene (without the lanterns for some reason).  I pictured the tree and tables and chairs on the sand with the ocean out there!  The stamp I used for the ocean and sand was their Cover-A-Card^TM Wood Grain.  Part of it was great for the sand and part of it was great for the ocean (that ended up looking like the sky).  Oh Well!  The Hi is from the Impression Obsession Clear Stamp Set Anytime Sentiments.

I stamped the Lanterns stamp with Brilliance Galaxy Gold on Neenah Classic White Solar Crest cardstock.  I painted it using Twinkling H2O's Mallard Green and Warm Pecan.  I cut the pieces out and edged with the Galaxy Gold, and then prepared the tree by turning it over on a Pergamano/embossing pad and used a stylus to give the leaves and the trunk depth. 

I used Twinkling H2O's Bashful Blue for the ocean (sky) and Golden Sand for the beach on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White Laid cardstock.  I stamped the ocean (sky) with Brilliance Moonlight White and the beach with Brilliance Galaxy Gold.  I heat set them both and then I added some Stickles Diamonds to the sand here and there and Frosted Lace to the ocean (sky).

A piece of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White Laid cardstock was put through the Cuttlebug with Spellbinders largest Lattice Rectangle.  I used the die as a template for tracing the ocean and the sand.  I tore the top of the sand to get a rough finish along the top.  They were mounted to the frame followed by the tree and table with chairs.  I added Viva Decor White Pearls as highlights.  The Hi was stamped with StazOn Timber Brown and then highlighted with a Viva Decor Bronze glitter pen.   The pitcher and glasses were highlighted with Viva Decor Crystal Clear.   On the bottom right hand side I added 3 dots of the Viva Bronze glitter pen and added 3 3mm pearls to their centers.

The twine was leftover from a previous project and I think it bought it from Michaels.  The scene was mounted on a left over piece of Japanese paper from a prior project and then mounted on a piece of Bazzill.
