Life's a Beach!

Yaaaaay! I've just found out I was in the Top Picks at Stampin' Royalty, so Thank You to the Goddesses!

My card today is for three challenges,                                                    
The colours are from Stampin' Royalty,

the sketch is Try Stampin' on Tuesday,

and CAS-ual Fridays want something linked with vacations and travel

Here is my card

The boy on the beach was stamped in Archival ink, and a sun and him were masked with a Post it, and the sky and sand were sponged over them. The scene was coloured with an Aqua painter so that the 3 colours went further in different shades. 
A yellow flourish that made me think of Seaweed, was fussy cut and placed over some hessian that looks like a fishing net, and I added some aquatic beads to it. The finishing touches were the addition of some shell sequins in the bottom corner, and the stamped sentiment


Supplies :
Card = Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White, Pool Party, and white base FMS
Stamps = Summer by the Sea, Everything Eleanor, and Verve
Inks = Black Archival, Pool Party, Pumpkin Pie, Summer Starfruit
Tools = Big Shot, Nestabilities, Post Its, and Aqua Painter
Extras = Hessian, Aquatic beads, Shell Sequins, Ribbon, and 3D pads


I had a great birthday yesterday, and ate far too much chocolate cake, but after Mum had made it for me, it would have been rude not to, wouldn't it?! I wont tell you how old I am, but it was a good year for British Football at the World Cup?? The weather was wet, but we made the best of it, and it watered the flowers that Nathan and Sophie had lovingly planted for me.

Thanks fro dropping by today, I'm off now to get around every ones blogs  to see what you've all been up to.

Be back soon
