Crafty Individuals' Seaside Scene

I made this Crafty Individuals' Seaside scene for the Artistic Stamper challenge, the theme of which is by the seaside, and the That's Crafty challenge, which is to use stencils and masks. I used a reversed canvas and Crafty Individuals' background papers, with the seaside paper in the middle and torn strips of their other papers around the edges and some canvas textured ribbon to tidy up the inner rim. I stamped the bather, shells, and beach huts, and coloured them with Fibralos, and stamped the text from the two sets CI 272 and 278 around the edges. For the sea I used bubble wrap coloured with alcohol ink in Pool, Stream, Clover, and Bottle, and then added gesso for the spume on the waves. For my stencil I used But is it Art script with Grunge Paste.

    What a delicious shadow box - great use of those lovely CI stamps and the bubble wrap ocean is inspired!

    Wonderfully cool creation! It's just perfect in this heat! I love how you reversed the canvas: it looks fantastic as a shadow box. It's such a lovely composition and a lovely colour combo. Julie Ann xxx

    Just saw this piece that made the Top 3 in That's Crafty challenge. Not surprised it did as it is such a detailed, evocative and dimensional piece. And the bubble wrap as sea... genius idea! Congrats, Lucy!
