HAPPY ICE-CREAM DAY (YES IT'S A REAL DAY) (1)

It's Summer!!!! And Summer is all over the Lawn Fawnatics Blog with the Summertime Fun challenge that's starting today. I created this beach scene with the Treat Cart stamp set and On the Beach stamp set.

For the scene, I used the Large Slimline with Sliders die set and Slimline Stitched Hillside Borders die set. I ink blended clouds to the sky, using Broken China Distress Oxide Ink. For the sand I used Tea Dye and Gathered Twigs. Here I also added splatter with white and dark brown watercolors. For the ocean I used Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink. I added water drops and dabbed them off with a cloth. 

I stamped the images and colored everything with Copic Markers. Here are all the colors I used:

Ice cream: E53 - E55/ E29 - E57/ Y15 - Y17/ R22 - R01/ YG00 - YG03/ BG53 - BG57/ V22 - V25/ Y38 - YR68

Cart: C0 - C3/ C5 - C7/ Y15 - Y17/ R01 - R22/ V22 - V25/ YG00 - YG03/ BG53 - BG57

Bear: E57 - E29

Foxes: E31 - E33 - E35/ E00 - E11

Beach ball: R05 - R46/ YG00 - YG03/ Y38 - YR68

Umbrella: C0 - C3/ R01 - R22/ R05 - R46

Towel: YG00 - YG03/ V22 0 V25

Sun block: Y15 - Y17/ BG53 - BG57/ Y38 - YR68

Sign: E29 - E75/ C5 - C7/ E53 - E55

I die cut or fussy cut the images. For the little sign, I wanted it to look like a chalk board. I heat embossed the menu onto it with white embossing powder. 

I assembled the card, stamped teh sentiment and added highlights with a white gel pen.
