The art board was gesso'd and once dry pan pastels applied. I stamped a script text background using Versamark and used the pan pastels again to make the stamp stand out. The water is glass bead gel which I Versamarked and added white embossing powder for the surf. The beach huts and sand castles are from a JOFY (Paper Artsy) stamp set, the bubble floating through the sky is texture paste stencil from Carabelle Studio. I used a spray fixative on the pan pastel background and then adhered the fussy cut images using gel medium. Just a fun whimsical scene 😏
This is a close up of all the texture on the surface, I hope you like the fun image and might try and art board yourself one day.

Fabulous canvas!! Lovely work with Jofy's stamps. xx
This is fab Christine. Love it.
You look like you had fun with this one? Fun memories for you too.....So artistic and love all the fun elements and the bubbles through the sky.
So cool! It looks like you’ve captured your sweet memories beautifully. Love the textured bubbly sky.
You brought back all my memories of my childhood summers at the beach in Sussex - there were beach huts just like these (in fact they are still there), and yes, the weather was unpredictable! I love your art board - perfect blend of colours, elements, and techniques!! Great way to do the sea and surf!
I love this...how fun, great colours, wonderful interest and textures.

Loving your textures, and promises of warmer weather and toes in the sand.
I love your mixed media art board beach scene, Christine. All your mixed media products and fun stamped beach images go so well together. Makes me want to head to our beaches close to home:-) TFS my friend. Hugs
What a delightful and creative mixed media piece, Christine. I love the coloring of the sand as well as the added texture for surf and sky. I'm always in awe of all the different products you use and how effectively you use them.
Gosh, this was so interesting to read how you've created this happy & fun card. Love all the textures, and you certainly got the embossing paste leveled so evenly with the sky treatment. Also loving how you used the gel beads on the water. The little beach huts are so bright, and you've just a bit of 'everything' going on with this delightful card. Well done! TFS
LOVE this canvas Christine! It's such a fun scene and I love all the texture from your mixed media layering. You are so good at this!! Would never have thought to use glass bead gel with white heat embossing on top ... so cool for your water! xx
Such a beautiful look at the beach, Christine! I love colorful houses, they create a unique atmosphere. I saw a photo of a similar beach once, and you have managed to create such a world. I also love the clouds that you created with the help of stencil. They look so sweet.

Love it Christine, it's a great scene and reminds me of some of the little huts on our coastlines which seem to have become more popular again. They are so sweet! Happy crafting, Angela xXx
I love your seaside canvas Christine. Beach huts are just so lovely. So nice to see pan pastels being used too, I've not played with mine for ages. I really like your mixed media canvas, a great project.
Love this !
