Deep Blue Sea

Sharing an underwater scene using Encaustic Painting.

1. Inked up image and stamped onto card stock.  I actually stamped this one at the May Stampscapes retreat. :o)  I only used a portion of the complete image.  I liked this Coronado Island image so much that I ordered it.   After I mounted it on EZMount, I cut it in pieces so I can easily use a portion or the complete image.
2. Use iron and waxes to create water background.  See here for post on tips and Encaustic video.
3. Holding card stock in mid air, lightly touch and pull away the iron to create the ocean bottom.
4. Using the tip of the iron pull the wax up for underwater foliage.
5. Adhere layers.

Paper: Encaustic Creations glossy card stock,  Stampin' Up! black, Neenah Classic Solar White

Hi Trena,

Your card is amazing! The underwater scene looks so realistic. I have never tried Encaustic painting. This is stunning!
