A Bit More Relaxing

After the tale of woe for the beginning of this challenge I feel I am on safer ground this time. What could be more relaxing than a day on the beach listening to the waves gentle rhythm, searching the rock pools for interesting creatures and collecting shells to take home as a memento. Sounds idyllic and if you can find a secluded beach that takes a bit of effort to get onto then totally possible!

Materials used:

Decosse's Dynamite Doodles - A Taste of Summer 

Scribbles Designs - Beachball 

Scribbles Designs - Sand Bucket 

Scribbles Designs - Wishing You Some Sunshine

X-Press It card

printer card

X-Cut dies alphabet set

Copic pens:

bucket - Y02, Y15, Y19, YR16

spade - GO2, G17, G29, G99

pinwheel and beach ball - yellow and green combos + E15, B21, B23, B26

                                          R29, R39, R59, R89     V05, RV69, RV66, V09

starfish - R30, R20, R22, R24

The background is made up using different papers from the A Taste of Summer set and the letters are also cut from one of the papers. I have torn the wave paper to try to show some separation in them.

The beach ball and bucket images are coloured and fussy cut then arranged on the background. I used foam pads to attach them to add some dimension to the card.

The challenge runs until the 1st September and our optional twist is a focus on relaxation. If you would like to challenge yourself, create a project designed to send someone a message to help them relax and rejuvenate or a project that depicts relaxation in some manner.
