Seaside Sketches

Hi everyone.  Time for the reminder for the CAS Watercolour June Challenge hosted by Bonnie.

I've had this stamp for a little while, so happy to use another NBUS (never-before-used-schtuff - coined by Darnell).

I started by heat embossing this sweet image with black embossing powder on mixed media paper.  I sloshed (a la shirley-bee) on some distress inks in shades of blue.  I got a little carried away adding black splatters. :)

Here's a close-up ...
You'll find lots of inspiration on the challenge blog with the amazing cards from our Designers, and wonderful Guest Designer, TaeEun!  I hope you'll check them out and then come join us!

    This was the very first SU stamp set that I purchased several years ago, and I still love it :)
    You did such a beautiful job watercoloring this darling image and your background is perfect, Loll! I love all those pretty shades of blue and how the seagulls and waves create movement on your card! Such a lovely card! Barb xx

    I love this SU image and you've colored it beautifully, Loll! I'll bet it brings back memories of going to the beach when you were a girl! It makes me want to dip my toes in the water!

    What a sweet scene, Loll ... so perfectly coloured in that 'sloshy' fashion ... she looks gently swept by a warm breeze! Hugs, Anita :)

    I love me some sloshing, and you’ve done it beautifully, Loll! Love the black splattering too. Fab card, it reminds me of my childhood, paddling in the sea with my skirt tucked up 🙂

    This card is so summery, Loll! I did research - the stamp set was originally made in 2003. Way before my SU time.
    The way you watercolored the image (sloshing) is perfect for the sketchy image. Love the beautiful shades of blue.

    I've had this image forever, and I love it, but I have never used it. I'm so happy to see that you have brought it to life.
