Last of the summer sun



   The husband of one of my niece's has a birthday at the end of this month. They have two small children, the youngest a babe in arms, so I don't think he'll get much chance to relax, but he can dream!
   I coloured both the Lili of the Valley stamp 'Take it easy' and the Personal Impressions seagull stamp using Promarkers. Using masking I then created the sky, sea and sand using distress inks. I then matted and layered it onto yellow mirri card and white card and added a sentiment.

   I wish to enter this card into the following challenges:
   Penny Black and More - anything goes
   Little Claire's Designs - a man's birthday card
   Inky Impressions - anything goes

  1. Oh wow Mary, this one is right up my street, super masking, colouring and composition. And you have shown how a normally cute image fits perfectly into a scene.

    Such a bright and sunny card, just perfect for this weeks theme.
