I don't normally do this challenge on The Craft Barn, but as it was for a beach scene with a beach hut, I couldn't resist it. The substrate is a canvas board that I made on a retreat many years ago. There is another one to go with it to make book covers. That means I will now HAVE TO do a beach book to go into the covers. The canvas had only been painted in the sand and sky colours, which I then painted over and used some texture paste for the sea.
I then stamped and coloured some beach huts and adhered them to the background. I stuck on some shells and stone bits. The finishing touches are some die cut seagulls. Now I have to do the back cover and make some pages. Please don't hold your breath.

I have also entered this on the Country View Challenge for August == Hot Summer Days.

I love those little beach huts and am longing for a paddle. The texture for the sea is perfect and the seagulls set it all off. Looking forward to the book!!
Its a bit of a grey day in the UK but when I think of summer

I have been having a super catch up Wendy, seeing all your posts I missed recently. The journal spreads look fantastic and this piece has me thinking of the beach, its a lovely card.

This is so beautiful Wendy. The background is fantastic. Your beach huts have something a little different about them too. Love it. Thanks for joining us at Country view Crafts. X
What a great beach Hut Wendy. Perfect for my Hot summer days theme over at Country View. Thanks for joining in with the fun x Jane DT
That is gorgeous Wendy, the sea looks real and the beach huts are inviting. Thanks for joining us at Country view Crafts for our Hot Summer Days challenge.
A fabulous piece. The sea looks so life-like, I'm sure I can hear the waves lapping the shore!
