I die cut the white panel then taped the sun burst stencil across the top &amp; placed the rectangle stencil to mask off the lower section. After sponging the yellows &amp; a bit of pink, I removed the sun stencil &amp; used a reverse mask I made by die cutting a similar sized circle in the middle of a piece of copy paper, to cover the rays, then sponged in the sun itself. I removed this, placed the wavy stencil across the bottom section &amp; the rectangle stencil over the top part. The blues were sponged in for the waves.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Gnomes-at-the-Beach-xcu-IMG6164.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-40079 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Gnomes-at-the-Beach-xcu-IMG6164.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"962\" height=\"636\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Gnomes-at-the-Beach-xcu-IMG6164.jpg 962w, https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Gnomes-at-the-Beach-xcu-IMG6164-400x264.jpg 400w, https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Gnomes-at-the-Beach-xcu-IMG6164-175x116.jpg 175w, https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Gnomes-at-the-Beach-xcu-IMG6164-768x508.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Gnomes-at-the-Beach-xcu-IMG6164-182x120.jpg 182w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 962px) 100vw, 962px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe gnomes &amp; palm tree were popped up a bit &amp; the smallish mini slimline die cut was popped up a bit more before the gnomes were added. The greeting was stamped directly over the sun burst rays before the gnome panel was added. I used some stickles glitter glue to paint in the sparkle on the waves.<br \/>\nThese are the Copics I used.
