Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for We Love Stamping. This month, we would love to see your cards with the theme chosen by Emma of
Sun, Sea & Sand
I haven't got many stamps with the theme of the Sea, but sorting my craft room, I found a couple, the beach house was amongst the few. We have a beach not far from us that has quite a few beach huts, and I thought yep! That's what I will go for.
Firstly I found a cream pearlised card, I blended blue for the sea, and a mix of yellows and brown to get a sandy appearance. I then stamped the sea and embossed it in white, it wasn't my best stamping, but that's the sea, isn't it? Lots of frothy foam, so I went with it. I stamped the beach huts and coloured them with DI's. I also added a darker yellow to make a shadow under the huts. The sentiment was printed out and die cut. It was then added to yellow card and attached to the base card.
sea stamp - Inkylicious By the Sea, Waves stamp set
hut stamp - docrafts Papermania, inside Simply Card and Papercraft magazine, a while ago
inks - Distress Inks
yellow card - stash
sentiment - Gingers House 2016

these are the colours, but I forgot to add the beach colours which are wild honey, antique linen, fossilized amber, tea dye,

These Green Woodpeckers were feeding on our lawn recently, just as I snapped them in a hurry, a magpie came in to shoo them away. I was mad, as the Dad usually stays about half an hour, and he brought his young to feed on OUR lawn, AW! I hope he brings it back again.
I've
just noticed I have had over a million views, WOW! Who would have
thought it. Yes it took 15 years, but whose counting. hahaha A BIG
Thank you everyone.
Beautiful beach hut scene Faith. I have that sea stamp and have never inked it … was just thinking about doing so the other day! Xx
ReplyDeleteA really gorgeous sea side scene. I love to see images of beach huts, never seen one IRL though but they do look colourful.
ReplyDeletePoor woodpeckers getting chased by the Magpies, hope they return to visit Faith.
Have a good weekend and huge congrats on the number of visitors. xx

Yes the beach is always the answer. I can't wait till I can go again. Lovely card. Oh and what beautiful creatures you get to watch in your yard.

ReplyDeleteI love this beautiful card! Just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love beach huts and these are looking very beachy. Lovely sea stamp, it looks so realistic and your sentiment is perfect. We went to the seaside at Felixstowe this morning and found it to be significantly cooler than home, so that was good. We are waiting for the rain now. Hope we get some xx
ReplyDeleteFabulous colourful beach huts Faith and love the sandy scene by the sea..poor little birds, hope they come back..

Beach huts work for me Faith, as a child I was always fascinated by them. Great photo of the Green's, we too have a family of them as well as the Greater Spotted.

I love this Faith, it reminds me of a holiday many years ago in Paignton, I think it was Goodrington Sands but I remember even now how colourful the huts were. It not quite as good as yours !! Hope your woodpeckers return, we aren’t that lucky as it’s mostly pigeons in our garden xx
ReplyDeleteLove this fabulous card Faith - and yes, the sea can be wild and foamy - it's not always cooperative and calm :)
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful birds the green woodpeckers are.
Congratulations on your 1 million views
Blessings

ReplyDeleteYour scene with the beach huts is fabulous, Faith! You captured waves coming ashore perfectly. Love the photo of the birds.
ReplyDeleteWhat a deliciously tempting scene! Gorgeously colored and embossed too! Wow, your woodpeckers look a bit different than ours, I thought they were some sort of fowl before I read. Pretty green wings, and big congrats on 1M views! xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh such a pretty beach scene! And congrats on the million views! What a milestone!
ReplyDeleteThe beach huts looks wonderful with the Inkylicious stamp. Such a great sentiment too. Congrats on 1M views. Great Woodpecker photo too.
ReplyDeleteThe sea looks lovely on this fun card, Faith, and the beach huts look so cheery that I would love a stroll past them.
