Seaside play

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.

  2. Elle est super mignonne cette carte !!
    J'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.
