Hello, I can't remember the last time I posted 2 days in a row, but I was determined to have one more play with this set of stamps before summer is over, although the way the weather is at the moment, I feel as if it has gone!
My background paper was quite a bright blue stripe, so to tone it down I gave it a wash with Picket Pence Distress Stain, before adding my net from some fruit packaging. My images are Crafty Individuals, and the Tim Holtz Film strip with some cut outs behind.
There are still quite a few Summer challenges around, as well as our Wish you were Here challenge at Try it on Tuesdays (I didn't get this finished on time for mid-challenge insp .but you still have time to link up) so I am entering this at:
Vintage Stamping Challenge - Summer Days
Eclectic Ellapu - Nautical/Seaside (Pink Team)
Sugar Creek Hollow - Summer Sunshine
Crafty Catz - Lazy Days of Summer
That's Crafty - Stamping Ground (using Stamps)
Thanks for visiting
