Beside The Seaside, Beside The Sea

Good morning and happy Wednesday. It's a new month, so lots of new challenges will be starting, and Corrie has picked a fun one for Country View Crafts - she's chosen Sun, Sea, and Sand - a Summer or holiday themed project. Now in the UK Summer doesn't guarantee sun, but what an amazing year we've had so far, and I think there's still more to come!
A couple of months ago I went to a doodling class as it was something that I just couldn't do. I'll never be the worlds best doodler, but at least it doesn't terrify me now lol. I cut a huge black tag then doodled a border with my white pen.
Then I stamped my lovely lady, then stamped her again and embossed her costume in sparkly red embossing powder. This is how I look in my beach kit - oops my Pinocchio nose just hit the computer screen! Next I had to find her a head - these are Dylusion stamps lol.
When everything was finished I stuck it to the back of a chipboard tag - I'll show you the front later in the month!
I hope you join in with our fun challenge - remember you could win a voucher to spend in the store.
Have a lovely August, and thanks very much for looking x

    Your doodles look mighty fine to me Sue, great theme.. Wish I could get away with a glittery swimsuit just like that, but with the weather we have been having rolling around in the sand would give the same effect just in a different colour hee hee!!
    Fab Tag..
    Wednesday Hugs Tracey xx

    Wonderful tag, Sue and I think your doodling is ab fab!!! It's bold and adds so much to your pieces - you underestimate your talents :-)

    Those Dylusions just crack me up when used well and this is so much fun!

    Great inspiration.

    Haha! I really don´t look like your image in my swim suit - more than the Lady from Corrie´s pages *lol*.
    Your doodling looks great, Sue! And I´m curious to see the front of your tag.
    Have a wonderful hot day.

    Your doodling is amazing Sue and it really does a great job at highlighting the girl - I love her quirky seagull hat too! It was meant to be very hot here today but it is lovely and cool! Hugs, Anne xx

    Love your doodled frame, very effective! Yes this weather is fantastic but I do wish I had the beach on my doorstep for the cool water and sea breeze! The air here is so still and suffocating! xx
