You Go Gull! by Janet

 
Greeting Ai Fans! I hope some of you have been able to enjoy some beach time. Now that it's August, there's not that much time left to enjoy the beach in its summer glory. Today's card shows off a summer beach at the sunrise. If you get up early enough, you might get to see this bunch of gull friends on your beach!

This scene was created with 5399 - Gull Friends Set. It has a number of gulls and miscellaneous beachy items like the ball, shells and kites. The birds and accessories were water colored and then cut out with the matching dies in the set. The background was made on light blue cardstock, inked with yellow, orange and purple ink over a sunburst stencil. 

For the sun, I cut two graduating circles with the 5064 - Circle Double Stitched Dies. I cut the sun down so it would fit on the top of the card and then stamped it with the sentiment. I glued it to cover the stenciled sun. The sand was cut with hill dies on kraft cardstock. I inked the edges with brown for dimension. Then the sand was layered and glued at the bottom of the card. Once the background scene was completed, I arranged the birds and accessories. The final touch were three small gold glitter enamel dots.

 I get a kick out of these gulls with attitude and hope you do too. As always, thanks for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed this fun beachy scene. Please visit the Ai store to see all the things you need for your card, journal, and tag making projects. Have a great weekend!
