fun at the hut

Good morning! I'm here with my second make for Countryview Crafts this month. The theme is hot summer day and I've had fun making a 3D piece - I hope you like it!

I started with a tando creative beach hut....

Next I painted it using paperartsy-fresco-finish-chalk-acrylics snowflake and south-pacific.

then I mixed some coarse texture paste with paperartsy-fresco-finish-chalk-acrylics pumpkin-soup and added to the base as a layer of sand.

Then I hit a wall! I wanted to add some characters but sadly all the stamps I had seem to have been used with a beach hut in the past. So I went a bit sideways and came up with this ....

I used the sheena-douglass-perfect-partners-day-of-the-dead---dancing-skeleton-thin-metal-die that I cut three times and stuck together having stamped with the dancing-skeleton-a6-rubber-stamp-set.  The hat I made using tim-holtz-idea-ology-textured-surfaces.  The letters are from letterpress by Tim Holtz. The sandcastles, ball and bucket and spade came from jofy-collection-jofy16 stamp set.

I hope you enjoyed my make - it makes me smile!

Hugs
