Alpha/Dictionary Challenge 2016 : S

I chose SHORE as my word for the letter S for the Alpha/Dictionary Challenge at the Craft Barn. The twist with this letter is to include a shell. I like seaside images so I was thinking about what you find on the shoreline and of course, a great excuse to include beach huts. I love beach huts so they just had to be on my page.


Cockle shell stamp from Marianne Designs : Beach PA4007
Vintage photo image from Marianne Designs sheet of vintage beach photos.
Beach huts and focal image of girl with parasol : Craft Individuals.

All the stamped images are coloured with Inktense water colour pencils. The definition and the edges of the shell panels are highlighted with the blue pencil and softened with water.

I'm glad I now have a seaside page in my book, it makes me happy.

    I love to be beside the sea.....but not today as it would require far too many clothes - we had snow flurries & hail stones earlier! The warmth from the colours of your page are warming me up nicely thank you :-)

    Superb! I love a good beach themed creation, and beach huts are good too. I'm going to wish for more letters I can use seaside stamps on!

    Your seaside page is fantastic! The beach huts are so delightful. I wish they were still a part of our modern world seaside. Excellent page creations for the letter S and it's twist to include a shell. I love the stamping along with your use of a vintage photo scene.

    I couldn't wait to get here to see what you had created this fortnight. I am SO sorry I haven't gotten here sooner, and believe me when I say your lovely comments have NOT gone unnoticed. Time and my life simply got away from me.

    I wish I had the stamps you have, because I would have loved to use that shell you chose. And those beach huts are simply INCREDIBLE. You color so well. Great choice with that horrible twist that didn't seem to give you a bit of trouble!

    I, too, have a love of beach huts and love the colours you have used. A beautiful double page spread and you certainly managed to incorporate plenty of shells x

    I love you be the burst of colour on the beach huts and yet it doesn't take your eye away from the images above. A fabulous spread in your dictionary.
