uk stampers weekly challenge tag week 27

Week 27 recipe over at ukstampers weekly challenge is:
  • Bunting
  • stamped image of a child
  • sepia

I have tried to depict a child running  from the waves on the beach holding the bunting which is trailing behind her.
The image on the stamp is the girl and some waves so I stamped using the whole stamp first of all then selectively inked up the waves part and stamped repeatedly to make the sea.  I chose not to put in a horizon and to show only the sand and the sea – I’m not quite sure that this worked.

Inks:  Versafine archival vintage sepia, Opalite Glacier blue (you can’t really see it), Distress inks old paper, vintage photo, and brushed corduroy
Stamp:  Joanna Sheen On the beach
Card:  ivory card 
Other:  tiny bits of material for the bunting, fibre, shell stickers, water colour pencil for her bathing suit, white pen to add subtle highlights, sandpaper to distress
