Seaside.

My starting point for this weeks tag, was inspired by one of my daughters birthday cards from her Aunt who lives on Mersea Island.  You have to read the tide table to make sure that you can get across the causeway when going there.  They have lots of pretty beach huts, and my daughter and I have spent many happy hours collecting shells.
Made the base tag from a piece of card to which I stuck a piece of sandpaper. The beach hut was cut from paper in my stash, I didn't have a pattern just went by what looked right.  Used the free stamps on the July issue of Craft Stamper to make the bunting, and 1" wide ric-rac to represent the waves.  The ice cream, I made with paper clay in a mold that was part of a children's Plasticine set. I painted it when dry with Koh-I- Noor paints.

    A lovely seaside tag. The beach huts in Bournemouth have to be red, yellow, blue or green, so I chose yellow for ours but I would have had a purple one given the choice! fab bunting too, Jane xx
