MFT challenge 706

Here's my entry for this week (or is it month?) sketch challenge by MFT stamps.

I don't usually work with sketches but this one made me think immediately of waves. And since I just came back from a wonderful trip to Florida, it  seemed obvious. :) 

I hope you like all the layers and the little bottle shaker. 

 I used 3 different blues for the waves and added one vellum layer.

I stamped on bristol paper and colored with Tombow markers and a paintbrush with a bit of water.

I added a piece of cork inside the shaker pouch. And for the sand I used left overs from a diamond painting I did + some sequins in pink and purple hues.

And I perched the little seagull on the bottle to guide the viewer's eye over there. Otherwise it could have been lost in all the other details.

I stamped my sentiment on the last wave. That wave was adhered with 3 layers of foam tape! 

I love how the vellum let the whole stamp show while adding different contrast.

Thanks for being here :)
