Oh I do like to be beside the seaside

This post is a little mixed media art board with memories of home during those unpredictable summers by the sea in Wales.  The tea shops along the promenade and the beach huts lined up at the edge of the sand, even when it was blowing a gale the beach was always a fun place to be.

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.
