Beside the seaside - at Countryview Crafts

Hello there! Well its 1st August and there's a new challenge at Countryview Challenges where the theme is ....I do like to be beside the seaside.... I decided to use some old stamps and distress oxides to create my make - all the stamps are by Crafty Individuals - I love them to pieces!!! Perfect for this theme!!!


I started by creating an A4 background using fossilised amber, mermaid lagoon and vintage photo distress oxide.  I then stamped the girly stamps on the card and cut them out then used the rest of the card to create the background. I also fussy cut images of the two girls on white card and added them on top of the previously stamped ones. The sentiment came with the stamps. The final thing I added were the seashells which came as part of the Little Fishies set from IndigoBlu.

I do hope you can join us in this challenge - the prize is a £20 voucher to spend in store! More details and link up here.

Big hugs

Rachel xx
