Beside the sea with Nature Walk

By
I thought that I would enter the St. Luke's Charity Cards Challenge again this month but I'm a bit worried because I don't have any seaside stamps and I decided to improvise instead. Here is my card
I started off by sponging my sky with a scallop circle and Baja Breeze ink, the sun was also sponged in using Summer Sun. I tore some copy paper to make hill shapes and used them again to sponge in my sand dunes. The sea was done in exactly the same way only I used some paper that had been cut with a wavy blade. Finally some flowers from the Stampin' Up set Nature walk were stamped in the foreground and coloured using my set of 'In Colours' Stampin' Write Markers.
Hope you like it - I'm off now to put my camera batteries on charge as they have just given up on me! Bye for now - Jacqueline xx

    Yet another stunner here. The scene you've created immediately conjures up sea breezes so well done on your improvising.
    Hugs, Fliss xx

    Would never have known if you hadn't said. It looks like a tropical island to me. Wish I was there. Great colours. Caz

    I didn't have any seaside stamps either so resorted to using a CD image but you hve improvised in a great way here - well done and very effective

    This is just brilliant - can't believe you did it all just with some ink and scraps of paper - sometimes out of nothing something wonderful grows :-D
    Thanks so much for joining us again!

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...

However at the moment there is a rather large pile of paper work in the way (meeting minutes and accounts etc) - this really needs to be tackled asap - however still moving on This is the other end where I am piling up all the bits and pieces for my workshop tomorrow night - we are doing medallion cards - so much to do so l...
