Oh I do like to be beside the seaside.....

Don't you? ;) Well, if you can't get to the seaside then hopefully these next entries will take your imagination there for you! LOL!

First up we have a lovely painting by Ros Crichton:

From Ros:

"The background sky was sprayed with a Starburst Spray in the colour of Tibetan Poppy Teal, Sea Mint Green and an aqua spray that I mixed myself using Matisse paints and Matisse Iridescent liquid. Then I taped off the sky with masking tape and used some of the same colours for the sea. I then painted the rest of it with my favourite Matisse Paints. I painted in the clouds and used a sealer to paste the word dream onto the canvas".

Check out the gorgeous iridescent glow:

So cool!

"The scroll stamp underneath is a Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous from the Reindeer Flight collection. I stamped it in Versamark and embossed it with a light blue embossing powder".

Lovely work Ros!

Ros has also been busy jazzing up an older artwork with her stamps and I just have to share it with you for inspiration because it's so cool! Meet "Cedric" the seahorse:

Ros created the lovely border using Stampin'Up "Ocean Commotions" stamp and Stazon. Check out more pics of him on Ros's blog!

Speaking of sea horses, our next entry is a seahorse ATC that was sent in by Jen Sweatman:

From Jen:

"I have made a watercolour background with bleach stamping (worn grid by Unity stamps from Scrapz.Biz). I have added more shading with distress inks, stamped a few more images on the background all from Tim Holz "Flights of Fancy" set and added the seahorse (cut from Graphic 45 paper & coated with distress stickles) and the safety pin with bead".

Awesome work Jen!

Well, that's it from me for today! Enjoy your friday night! :)
