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?

    Hi Terry,
    Oh I do LOVE this project, the cheese cloth was a great touch. I use it for so many things, mostly in my journal.
    Hot? well ya! The rain last night made it so muggy I had a fan going as well as the AC.

    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. :(

    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.
