Tranquility At The Beach

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a card made over the last several weeks in between my migraine and fibromyalgia flare-ups.  I used an image from Conjurer of Dreams greyscale coloring pages called The Beach.  Anyone that really knows me, knows the beach is my happy place.  I could just sit on the sand watching the waves for hours.
 
After printing it on Neenah white card stock, I colored it using both Lyra and Castle Arts watercolor pencils.  Once my coloring was finished, I softened everything using a prismacolor blender pencil before layering and adding some sand dollar brads from my stash.  After adhering the layered image using glue dots, I added some "seagulls" using a black gel pen before adding some star dust stickles to the wave white caps.  After adding a scallop shell sticker from my stash, I added a few Meraki green shimmer bling to finish it off.  I'm happy with how it finally turned out.
