Here's Kaumaka and Aulii!

Hello again!  Are you liking the images so far?  Well, there is still much more to come, so let's get to it!

Today I'm back with two more introductions for you... meet our little sand boy- Kaumaka, and our starfish girl, Aulii.  They love to play in the sand, but I have a feeling Kaumaka is a little mischievous!  I have visions of him ruining a nicely created sand castle!! LOL!

So I really wanted to pair these two up with the sand castle image, so I ended up making a longer card.  It actually measures 3 1/2" x 7" which was wide enough for me to fit all three images, albeit they do overlap a little.



The card base is made from watercolor paper since I planned on using my Zig markers again.  I love those things!  Anyway I stamped the sand castle first and then used my markers to color it up.  Then used my waterbrush to draw out the ink and water it down for a nice background effect.  These make making backgrounds a breeze!

Then I placed my already stamped and colored up Kaumaka images next to the sandcastle along with stamping the sentiment (PTI).

I added Aulii on the other side of the sandcastle as she looked like she was going to place the starfish on the castle.


This card was surprisingly quick to make!  These watercolor markers are actually must easier than the copics to use and you can still achieve shading if you want.

So, do you want to have a chance to win Aulii or Kaumaka?  If so,here's what you need to do:
1)  Leave a comment on THIS POST by  6/30/15 11:59pm HST; and
2)  Tell me what your favorite beach is!  I like Lanikai beach in Kailua but I think everyone knows that secret by now.  That used to be our go-to beach back in High School.

Don't forget to check out my video on this card and stop by tomorrow for our last introductory post!

  1. Hundreds of hula dancers lined up on the shores of Waikiki Beach to the tune of "Waikiki" for the Book of Guiness World Records. What a awesome sight! One of the most scenic and best beach in the world.

  2. Great scene you've made!
    My favorite beach lies in Brittany, near my grandparent's house... There is a castle on an island in front of the beach, so magical for children!

  5. You created a fun beach scene for Kaumaka and Aulii. I never tried water color markers before. I will need to get some and try them out one day soon.

    I am not sure the name of my favorite beach, but it's either in Kahuku or in Haleiwa. It's so peaceful and quiet there. Not many tourists or locals are there especially on the weekdays when my family and I stop by. Near the parking lot of the beach is a jungle gym. My hubby watch our kids play there while I enjoy the beach. :)

  6. These are adorable! My fave beach is Little Corona at Corona Del Mar here in California. Simply beautiful & relaxing. Love the tide pools and all the little creatures in there. I just wish I could get down there more often.

  7. Oh Kaumaka and Auli look so cute playing in the sand!!!
    I'm not really sure which beach is my favorite i have a couple... I don't really know the names of the beaches, but i love the black sand beach on the big island between hilo and kona. It's so pretty and the water is a like a dark navy blue. I've only been there once, but i just loved it there, super great experience to at least see it once in my life time.
