The theme this week is a beach scene, and I had this very old stamp in a drawer. I think it is from Stamps Happen, but it is no longer on their web site, so maybe its an antique! lol.
I've used water colours this time. It takes longer, but I wanted the effect that it provides and I'm quite pleased at how it turned out. The water has a misty look, as I added a coat of white pearlescent when finished
The background paper is also a stamp with a Waves pattern by Local King Rubber Stamps, and then I've distressed the edges with DI.
You might have also noticed that I've also gone with the Red White and Blue colour scheme today. Royal colours for the Royal Wedding!
I have some challenges I'll also be entering, but thanks once again for your visit and lovely comments.

ReplyDeleteThis is just so gorgeous. Loving your antique stamp! Oddly I am sitting here looking at it and the wind is howling outside the window and the little girl has sort of sprung to life as I can almost see her dress blowing in the wind!
