Hi everyone. I have been very colourful in my work of late, mainly due to the recent aquisition of Dylusion inks, so I have calmed down a little for my effort this week. I love this stamp of the bathing beauty and so I distressed her with vintage photo, used old photo corners, stuck her on a Kraft resist tag, added brown shells on ribbon, two shell stamps in the corner, some mini negative strip and then stamped out some bathing huts that I watercoloured down the side. Last bit, added a stamp that writes about being on holiday down the side in coffee archival ink and Bobs your uncle as they say! (I would love to know the origins of that saying as it doesn't make sense!)
I guess looking at it against the orange background means I haven't toned down that much, but with the sun playing hide and seek we all need a bit of summer colour. I hope you all have a great week, am loving the range of all your tags, thanks for taking the time to comment on mine. Byeee for now. x
ps. I love the sea sound Carolyn, brilliant!
Lovely image and great use of the vintage photo colours! Valerie

Talk about brilliant! Your tag totally IS! I was going to mention that it didn't look toned down to me...but since you did, I won't. :) I LOVE it!

I love your design, especially the way you have the huts peeking out. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous tag - I love the beach huts overhanging the edge and your lovely selection of embellishments. Great stuff.
ReplyDeleteLove all the little 'extras' - the shells, the beach huts and the strip of film. The ripples round her legs are great too!
ReplyDeleteEspecially love the negative strip - this scene could come directly from a silent move. The attention to embellishing details is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteWhat an artistic tag - totally brilliant! It looks fab on the orange background, too! Wikipedia has a possible explanation of Bob's your uncle! Carolyn x
ReplyDeleteA very lovely tag, love those beach huts.
ReplyDeleteVery creative with all the elements hanging off!
