Hello crafters,
This fortnight, the Allsorts challenge optional theme, chosen by yours truly is "Seaside". As usual, you can also enter with an "anything goes" theme.

The focal image is Penny Black's Escape (40-692) stamped in several colours of inks. (I used both inkpads and markers as I rarely have all the colours in all media).
The base is glossy card, and I added colour with dye inks and a smoothie to the sky, sea and sandy beach.
For the mat I used the AALL & Create #91 Film Drip die set, extending the height by doing 2 partial cuts and finishing with scissors.
The underwater scene has been stamped with Versafine Clair inks (next time I will make sure to use Memento) on watercolour paper.
All stamps are from the Creative Stamping issue 97.I stamped first and then water coloured the water and sea floor, removing the sun rays and light areas with a dry brush.
A final stamp in white pigment ink for the bubbles, which I strengthened with a gel pen.
I finished colouring the turtle, fish and seashells.
The image and its mat were then die-cut with the AALL & Create #77 Climbing Woods die set.
