I am very proud to show you the new stamps I have designed for The Artistic Stamper, which perfectly fit to this June Challenge at the seaside !
To make my project, I have used tissue paper from a chocolate brand to make the sea and stuck my fishes between the waves, all of them into a sardine can, which is a support I love to use ! And the boat is stuck down with 3D tape. I have coloured the stamped images with watercolour markers.

I will be happy to read your comments about it !

Bye for now and happy creating.

I have continued my Postcard series for this challenge, and what better subject than the seaside!
I created a background using Distress Oxides with our new Ultimate Brushes, and loved it so much, I found it extremely hard to cover up! Then I created another background using the oxides, and stamped on it with Tit's Seaside Stamps. cutting them out and placing them so you could still see the background was a challenge!

I am lovin Titbelsoeurs new stamps, but as soon as I heard the subject was "seaside", I immediately thought of the NUDES, and the very annoying song!!!...I do hope it is not inside your head all day now!! LOL. I have drawn the bikini onto the nude and I have used a couple of stencils for the background, the SMALL DOTS mask and the SPLATS AND SWIRLS mask.

We hope that you will join in this month's challenge, and also join us on Facebook too.

We look forward to seeing your creations. Don't forget to add a comment when you have posted your entry.
Happy Creating

Notebook for serious young man

Hi there) It/s Maria Potapovich (mellpellmell) here for you today.

If you do not mind, I'll show you a notebook, which I did for a serious young man.

Do you know that the quantity is not always equivalent to quality? Sometimes "less" may be the best choice!
I'm sure that the next photo will be able to demonstrate this assertion.

Yes, you saw it right - I used just a single stamp to decorate this notebook.

As you can see, that was quite enough!

I would like to draw the attention of all those who (as I do) loves shtamping in any place and on any material - stamps of this brand give excellent and precise imprints even at such a "rough" fabrics like this - look at the photo a little closer:

 I hope you are also love sometimes do such little things for serious people who alien to the "flowers and bows"!

Have a nice day, and serious people close to all of you! :)))))

Beach worn box by Zuzu

I altered this wee wooden box to make it look all beach worn. A bit like drift wood thats not been out long enough to loose all its colour. To get this look, I gave the box a coat of gesso, then white acrylic. Before adding the final coat of blue acrylic, I smeared some Vasaline (petroleum jelly) along the edges and in some random places on the surfaces. Then I put on my final coat of paint. once it was dry I used a soft cloth to remove the Vasaline and it took the paint with it, leaving a nice view of the white underneath to give it a bit more of a distressed look and also to smooth it down for stamping, i took sandpaper to it. You can sand it back as much or as little as you like.

I stamped on the box using some seaside stamps, with black stazon ink and used a white highlighter to draw on some accents. I realised that the fish lost his tail as it hung over the edge so i stamped him out again on to tissue paper and coloured him in so he matched the box, so i could glue him on and fold his tail around the edges.
