I used a set of stamps from Crafty Individuals, created an oval mask using a nestie then Distress Inks to make a one layer background . I didn't want to achieve a smooth blend of colours, but more the effect of a patchy sky and sea, with just a hint of foreground sand, so used Broken China and Faded Jeans, with Scattered Straw for the sand.
The Bathing Belle (with legs), sentiment and seagulls (with legs) were stamped with Memento Paris Dusk ink.
Thanks for popping by to check out my card, it's great to see you !
I have this set too!! What a fab job you've made with them

ReplyDeleteI love this too Wynneth! Using the nestie as a mask to add colour and leaving some of the image outside it is really effective!
