I'm showing this beach scene today as I'm too hot to contemplate doing anything but dipping my toes in cool water...
This one seems to be a favourite with lots of people and it appeared in a clip on Hochanda with some nifty zoom-in on the boy during the Crafty Individuals show in August.
The detail of the images is fantastic, provided you use a very smooth card and either Versafine or a good dye ink to get the best results! I used dye because with alcohol markers I find Versafine can bleed a little.
To stamp the girls (CI-284 'Life's a Beach Girlfriends') I masked the frame of the original stamp design and cleaned up the ink where I wanted a less straight edge.
Both the girls and the boy (CI-459 'Sandy Toes & Salty Kisses') are coloured with alcohol markers, whilst the sentiment (CI-454 'By the Sea' ) has been stamped with a Kaleidacolour inkpad in Sea breeze).
Thanks for coming by,
I am entering the Addicted to stamps, and Craft Stamper challenges.

ReplyDeleteJ'adore ta colorisation sur ce petit bonhomme, et c'est très belle association de tampons à laquelle je n'aurai pas forcément pensé.
Je pense que tu as moins chaud maintenant... Ici, il pleut à verse en tout cas ! L'été touche à sa fin... snif.
