Good Morning everyone
Gosh the months are flying by, its time for a new challenge We Love Stamping with the theme this month chosen by me is
SUN, SEA &/OR SAND
So plenty of options there but if thats not for you we always have the anything goes option as long as you use stamping
I dug out a very old chocolate baroque stamp set with these fab seagulls which is very apt as as the seagulls which nest on my roof spend most of their time sat on the washing line posts in the garden. In the heat the chicks have fallen off the roof so inhabiting the back garden so its a no go zone for now unless you like being dive bombed😁
6x4.5" card. I first stamped the seagull image onto white card and then the poem beside it using dark blue ink. I die cut into a fancy rectangle, this is a very old spellbinders die but i thought the edge had a bit of a rope effect look to it. I then watercoloured the scene with distress inks. Once dry i stencilled on the sun with lemonade distress oxide ink, keeping it soft around the poem. I stamped the seagulls a 2nd time, watercoloured and cut out the posts and seagulls and decoupaged onto the base image with pinflair glue gel for a little dimension. Added a few white gel pen highlights.
Then adhered to a kraft card base card, I went with kraft card as once again felt it picked up on the theme.
The poem reads
I must down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide is a wild call and a clear call that may not be dented; and all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying, and the flung spray and the blown spune, and the sea-gulls crying.
