Kiss Me Quick

I'm not one to scare easily, but when I saw that this months challenge at Country View Crafts was Simply Scenic, I did panic a little. I love scenic stamping, but it's not something that comes easily to me, so this is scenic stamping Sue style - I've stamped a scene!



I started by making a background wash with Aqua Tints.
Then some stenciling with black gesso through the Sheena beech huts stencil. I've really fallen in love with black gesso!
It's starting to look a little more scenic now.
Every beech needs some waves, so I sprayed some Dylusion inks in Cherry Pie, Funky Fuchsia, and Lemon Zest, and stamped a border stamps from an old Dyan Reaveley plate. 
Fussy cutting, don't you just love it!
Sea in place, now need some seagulls...

These birds come from one of my first sets of Tim Holtz stamps. It's from the Anthology plate, and it's still one of my favourites.
The lettering is again from Dylusion large and small alphabets.
Need my bathing beauty now! I love her, in fact I want to be her! She's a mix of old and new DR plates. Her bathing suit has been embossed in Red Tinsel embossing powder Yum!

So here's my scenic stamping, stuck in my album for safe keeping.
I hope you get the chance to play along with us and try out your scenic stamping.
Hope you like mine, and thanks very much for looking x
I'd also like to enter this into the Art Journal Journey challenge which is The Sea (they must have known),  The Artistic Stamper Journal Your HeART Out,  Craft Stamper May challenge, Take A Stamp - anything goes,  Mixed Media World - use bright colours,  Love To Create anything goes, and Stamps and Stencils anything goes.
Enjoy your weekend xx
