Beach Basket by the Sea

"Beach Basket by the Sea" works well as a craft template for cards, window decorations, or table settings. To frame the finished piece, mount it on colored cardstock, which instantly gives the work a more polished look.

The beach basket looks wonderful colored with brown and beige tones—use multiple shades for the woven structure to create depth. The sea works beautifully with various blues and turquoise tones, with white essential for foam and spray. The seagulls could be gray or cream white with black wing tips for accent. The sky looks loveliest in light blue or soft turquoise. Tip: Color the sand in yellow and sand tones, and strengthen the wave structure with fine, parallel lines—this creates a nice texture effect.
