Framed beach scene

I have made this framed beach scene for our August challenge. The theme was chosen by the lovely Christine aka CraftyField and it's called I do like to be beside the seaside.

For this project, I got the inspiration from one of my earlier cards. You can find it here. 

Here is my tutorial. 

I cut out a rectangle, the exact same size which fits in the frame, and then another one. The second one was torn by hand to create the beach. This second one was also covered with Ranger, Grit-Paste. When it was dry, I painted with DecoArt Americana Buttermilk paint, then spritzed with Burnt Umber.

For making the beach hut, I used only one side of the Village Dwelling house. And I cut this out from corrugated cardboard.

I painted the house white and then I let it dry.

For the little doorknob, I used this part of the Robotic die set.

The door, the roof and the tree trunk were cut out from kraft paper but I inked the edges with Vintage Photo.

The leaves of the palm tree were inked with Distress inks (Mowed Lawn, Peeled Paint). Then I smeared Micro Glaze onto the surface.
