Gerda Steiner - Catch A Wave...

Hi all,

Oh how I love this little guy in the catch a wave stamp set by Gerda Steiner... he is so cute...  So when I saw that the theme was Surfs Up, at Male Room challenge I had to enter this little guy!

I started this card by heat embossing the SSS - Waves in turquoise embossing powder by Ranger

I then masked this off with a piece of paper. For the top half  I used scattered straw distress oxide ink as my base.

 I am using the Ranger - Wendy Vecchi Make art station for this.  Those magnets are really strong I used them to not only hold the paper but also the Tim Holtz stencil I used.

I blended ripe persimmon, wild honey and mustard seed for the sunrays.

The sea was a blend of mermaid lagoon and salty ocean and I added white textile paint with a sprinkle of glitter with my Glitter Duster.

I coloured my little guy with Prismacolor pencils but I sketched around him and made this the beach, which is also coloured with Prismacolours.  I made a slit in between the sea and the sun and pushed the image through it, and adhered him with foam tape.

The final touch was a few seagulls and the sentiment which are from the SSS - Surfs Up set.

I'm also entering this into
