You will forgive the beach photo's odd colours as my printer's ink cartridge ran out on me... and I will replace the photo, as soon as I get around to have a 2 year back log printed, professionally this time!
Do come and check the step by step on the Craft Barn blog.
Supplies:
Watercolour card
Distress Oxide in Faded Jeans and Fossilized amber
Brayer
Kaisercraft stamp:
Impression Obession stamp: Canvas Cover-A-Card
Kaisercraft wooden embellishments
Gel medium
Sand and seashells: the real thing... collected on an beach!
Layouts are for me a labour of love, they do take me a long time because I tend to dither on each addition and I am never sure when to stop! However the size of the canvas (12x12) allows to play with lots of mediums, stamps and stencils and isn't that a crafter's dream...
Do let me know what (if!) you like on this layout in your comments,
Thanks for coming by today,
I am entering the Creative Artiste, SSS Monday, Lost Coast Designs, The Artistic Stamper, We Love To Create, Craft Stamper TIMI, and Fashionable Stamping challenges.

Great layout .... I love the sunburst background. Thank you for playing along with the Craft Stamper challenge xx
ReplyDeleteLovely layout! Simply adorable!
ReplyDeleteI really do lovethis sunny, beach themed layout! Very imaginative use of your color blocking and great design and details! I agree that layouts are a challenge for me, very possibly the reason I don't make them often. Or perhaps it's not doing them often that makes them a challenge! Either way, 12 x 12 is a lot of real estate to cover! Thank you for your kinds words on my journal and for your tip on the DA Varnish. I use the Ultra Matte quite often. It just seems that the oxides seem to vanish with varnish! Hugs!
