Seaside Sailor Boys

I had a bit of trouble with this week's challenge, because all the themes for this month revolve round the seaside. I found it quite difficult to decide what to use for this tag and what to save for the others. Until I started going through some postcards I had bought in France a few weeks ago, that is. I found a photograph of these sweet little boys all dressed up in their sailor suits, no doubt ready to hit the French Riviera, lol.


I painted three different areas on a white tag, light brown for the beach, light blues for the sky and darker blues for the sea. Glued on the shell and this puffety stuff I found on the beach after a storm last year, and then created the beach with two different shades of Distress Stickles, Scattered Straw and Tarnished Brass. Cut out some small images of shells, and of course the darling boys and glued them on. Printed out the song title of a good old English seaside song ( which I now can't get out of my head, arrgghh ), and drew few seagulls in the sky.

Thank you once again for all the lovely things you said about my tag last week. I am off to France again this weekend, not sure what I will be able to create while I am there. If I have time before we go, I'll try to make and schedule some tags.
