We're just back from a wonderful week in Eastbourne staying with Gareth's parents. They live a stone's throw from the beach and the weather was much better than we had hoped, so we spent most afternoons building sandcastles and poking around the seaweed hunting for seashore treasures.
The pictures in this layout show the boys playing in the water with excited seagulls screaming and flapping about in the background.
Here's a close-up of the little bird detail:
Supplies:
White Bazzill cardstock, inked around the edges with blue and green inks
American Crafts Thickers - red felt 'Playroom'
Dymo embossing labeller
Dulux paint chip card
White Magic Mesh
Hero Arts stamp: B4751 Decorative Bird III
Banana Frog stamp: Take Note
Versamark ink pad
Silver Pearl embossing powder
Black watercolour pencil
I stamped the Bird twice on white card with Versamark ink and embossed with Silver Pearl embossing power. I then coloured the wings with black watercolour pencil, cut out the wing of one bird and stuck it on the other bird raised on foam squares.
The red squares were made by covering a red paint chip card with Magic Mesh and cutting out squares.
I have so many other pictures to scrap and can't wait to get going with them - a week is a long time with no scrapping!
