Sun, Sea and Sand.

Here we are with a new challenge at Cardz for Galz. It is my turn to choose the challenge and I have gone with Sun, Sea and Sand. when I picked this I had no idea that Creative Stamping would produce the perfect set of stamps just a few weeks earlier. Needless to say I used them.

I watercoloured the image but made the stupid mistake of doing the background first! So I had to spend some time removing enough colour so that the girl's shoulders were not too blue! I hope you'll find time to join in with us.

Less is More - Life's a Beach!

I've managed to find time to make a card for this week's Less is More challenge and this is what I came up with.

I hope it's not cheating as I created the scene with Craft Artist - if it is ladies then please feel free to delete it. I cut the frame out with some Spellbinders dies, stamped it with SU's hardwood stamp then ran it through a wood embossing folder. I was trying to get the look of distressed wood that you see on pictures in seaside gift shops. I'm not sure if I succeeded though. The sentiment is a Simon Says Stamp one.
