I love beach sunset scenes so that&#8217;s the look I was going for here. I used a combination of sponging and Copic markers for the colors. I grew up in a beach town and I really love palm tree images so I thought this coconut palm would be perfect. After stamping it and the little sun\/cloud image, I sponged on some hot sunset colors above the horizon and some water colors below. Normally, I would mask the tree and horizon, but I didn&#8217;t feel like cutting out a mask for the palm tree, so I sponged very close to the tree then filled in any white areas w\/ Copics.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Stroll-on-the-Beach-04033.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Stroll-on-the-Beach-04033.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-16959\" title=\"Julie Warner -https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/?p=16957 \" src=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Stroll-on-the-Beach-04033.jpg\" alt=\"Stroll on the Beach 04033\" width=\"524\" height=\"455\" \/><\/a>The tree and sand were colored with Copics and I used a white gel pen to add some highlights. For the twine part of the Challenge, I used a piercing mat &amp; tool to make the two rows of holes, then used some of the yellow\/orange twine from The Twinery to stitch the two layers together. I did divide the 4 strands of twine and only used 2 strands to stitch. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics &amp; inks I used for coloring.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">I&#8217;m also adding this to the<a href=\"http:\/\/www.simonsaysstampblog.com\/mondaychallenge\/?p=1696\" target=\"_blank\"> Simon Says Monday Challenge&#8230;White<\/a>, since this whole panel started out white.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Stroll-on-the-Beach-copics-04030.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Stroll-on-the-Beach-copics-04030.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-16958\" title=\"Julie Warner -https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/?p=16957 \" src=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Stroll-on-the-Beach-copics-04030.jpg\" alt=\"Stroll on the Beach copics 04030\" width=\"500\" height=\"391\" \/><\/a>By the way, the prize this month is an assorted pack of twine from The Twinery!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/TT-Sampler-w-Title.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/TT-Sampler-w-Title.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-16966\" src=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/TT-Sampler-w-Title.jpg\" alt=\"TT Sampler w Title\" width=\"400\" height=\"276\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Thanks so much for stopping by!
