Despite the blustery breeze and the sea birds wheeling, Belinda donned her best blue dress and bopped along the beach, her beautiful balloons bouncing in the breeze, trying to sell them, so she could have a bacon buttie before bed.

That’s what happens when you have time, and a brain full of antibiotics, well that’s my excuse. I couldn’t think past beach and balloons initially, but this is the outcome...

The ‘sand’ is course texture gel, coloured with Lindy’s magicals – Grab a Guy Gold and Bratworst Brown.

The sea and sky were brayered on, using four different blue inks. White ball point and Kindy Glitz were added to the sea. Clouds were cut using Whimsy stamps Stitched clouds, and had grey brushed across the bottom edges.

The figurine is a Tim Holtz ephemera from the Paper Dolls series Poses. Balloons were punched from various colours of glitter card.

ReplyDeleteHi Maxine, a very nice card, you created a summer scene that reminds of times gone by. Thanks for joining the Dream Valley Challenge Tatiana x DT
Gosh I just love this card Maxine & the story behind it. I was peering really closely at my screen to see what the sand was til I read that it was gel. Your work is truly amazing.
ReplyDeleteI am 100% in agreement with you regarding our postal system. A package arrived overnight to me from Nelson, Sth Island & a package from Auckland, 2 hrs away, took a week!! xx
Blessing on your health Maxine do prayer from you. Cute card, i wondered where the lady was from. I have very little ephemeral images.
ReplyDeleteWell done on the beach and balloon mix
Prayer hugs 🙏🏻🤗
