difficult world conditions. My thanks to you for taking the 

time to visit my blog.

Today at Make My Monday we have began a new challenge.

To create the beach scene I first stamped the lady, then 

added a mask to stamp the seascape stamp.

I used a clouds template from Inkylicious.

Stamps from an A4 set - At The Seaside. 

I coloured in various ways, Promarkers, blending inks,

watercolour with Oxide ink. 

Please stay safe and well.  Happy crafting.

HLS ATC Monochrome

Hello, thank you for your visit. This post is a sad one for me, it is my last one on the design team,
because my six month term is up and Kylie has decided to take a well earned challenges break.
 I would like to thank Kylie for the wonderful experience and the opportunity for accepting me
on the team, enabling me to showcase on her wonderful blog.
Today at Happy Little Stampers Artist Trading Cards
the challenge for June is Monochrome
 We look forward to seeing  your project,  Please visit the main blog
to check the details and be sure not to miss the wonderful inspiration created by the
design team.

                                  For my ATC Monochrome,  I used stamps from a set
                                called Enchanted Woodland which were free with the 
                                                Creative Stamping magazine #83.
                                    I used several shades of grey Promarkers, with a touch
                                               of gelly roll white pen to add highlights.
                                I blended the background with DI Pumice Stone (grey)
                          Thanks, I hope you enjoyed my ATCs over the past six months
                                        I've had fun making them. Stay safe everyone.

the edges to give the appearance of a coloured card.
