Summertime Fun!
So is it hot enough for you?? It certainly is for me and although I am staying out of the Sun, I decided today would be a nice day to have some "Summertime Fun" indoors! "Summertime" is also the current theme at Frilly and Funkie and we are just in time and also linking to Country View Crafts "Summer Sizzler."
Using the cool summertime "Boardwalk" stamps from Artistic Outpost, we decided it would be nice to have a little romantic twist! We started by making a foldable cabinet die cut and cutting out a Spellbinders sunshine burst in the inside for a frame inside a frame!
Alcohol inks were applied to glossy white card stock and all images were stamped using Coffee Archival. The sentiments were stamped on tissue paper and inked with the same alcohol inks.
The lovely bathers were stamped on watercolor paper and colored with Distress Markers and Stains. After I cut the "sunshine" opening, I decided to combine to of the dies for a frame.
Adhered a little dyed cheesecloth with gel medium and added the seashells and the "Atlantic City" emblem, which was placed in Tim's bottlecap die.
Today was very overcast, so picture quality was more off than usual for me! Thank you for stopping by and there is still a good week to join in Artist Outpost's July Referral Program, so hope to see you there!

Fabulous project Terry. Fancy a dip right now actually!
Is it me or does the male bather bear a passing resemblance to a portly Freddie Mercury?

Love this Terry - I can just imagine your young lady parading along the Boardwalk watching the strongmen doing their thing on a version of 'muscle beach'! Thanks so much for joining the Summertime challenge at Frilly and Funkie. Hugs, Jenny x
Hanging out at the seaside or on the boardwalk is definitely a summertime thing to do. What a fabulous project and thanks for sharing it at Frilly and Funkie.

Amazing creation Terry!!! Love those vintage bathing beauties images!
What an amazing project my friend. Like you I try to stay out of the sun. And can you believe I missed all that rain we had. I was at my Moms in AZ when we got the second bot. The first bot was on the other side of town. :(
Hugs~
This is wonderful Terry, brilliant images and I love your cheesecloth and shells xx
Love these pieces Terry! the cheesecloth looks like fisherman's net and the tiny shells are so sweet. I hope you can get some cooler temps - the heat is such a nasty thing! Happy Thursday!

These boardwalk stamps have been so popular this summer and every time I see one I start singing - under the boardwalk - boardwalk. This was quite a project - love the net and the shells.
