I started with a white Bristol paper panel that was 3 1/4" by 8 1/4". I cut a speckled brown paper and tore the edges on two sheets, then glued them to the bottom to resemble sand in the ocean and on the beach. I used various colors of paper and Vivid Inks to stamp the sea shells. I cut those out and arranged them in the "sand".
I stamped the seahorse in Vivid Ink to the right of center and colored the sea grasses with a green colored pencil. Then, I stamped the coral using Distress Ink. I stamped the colorful fish using Vivid Inks. Finally, I used Speckled Egg Distress Ink and a make-up brush to spread a little light blue between the elements. I mounted it on a slim line piece of cardstock the same color as the "sand".
I used stamps from these manufacturers: Mostly Animals, Fred Mullett, Pigs & Poets, Impression Obsession and some of the shells are unknown.
