At the Shore for CAS Watercolour

Hello friends.  So glad you could stop by!

There's just a week left for our June CAS Watercolour challenge.

This month I chose the challenge.

I found a piece of watercolor in my UFO box.

I had used watercolor crayons and a water brush to create an ocean scene.

Then I stamped some little sand dollars and starfish that were 

way to big for the size of the scene!

I decided to see if I could fix it into a usable piece.

Nothing to lose, right?

And giant starfish and sand dollars are a bit unnerving!

I put a drop each of Sahara Sand and Crumb Cake re-inkers into the dips in a palette.

I wet the sand area with a water brush then picked up a bit of re-inker on

my brush and dropped it into the wet sand.

I kept adding more until I'd covered up the offending shells.

When it was dry, I cut it in half and added some birds to the scene.

I stamped sea oats on the other half.

I added a bit of white gel pen to the waves.

Better than before anyway.

I hope you'll check out the lovely ocean designs at

CAS Watercolour.
