A quick page...

while it's still cool!
My page is for Erika's 'When It's Hot' theme at Art Journal Journey, although here it is still grey skies...mostly!

 I had some gold paint to use up and just sponged it across the page to make some sand.
I added some DI sky and sea. Stamped a seaside town scene that I have had for ages and decided not to colour it, but stamp it with brown ink.
I stamped and fussy cut the Crafty Individuals seagull sitting on the suitcases. I used 'Seaside', another CI stamps and then added another stamp from a freebie set and wrote in 'to the' with a pen

 I said it was quick!

 Thanks for looking, Chris

    Wow, this is beautiful, Chris. I love how you combine several stamps to make a scene. Those suitcases and seagull really brought the entire scene together. I love it all and it's perfect for Erika's theme at Art Journal Journey. Thanks for sharing.

    BTW, check your e-mail, dear.

    This is gorgeous Chris. You've made a tempting scene. And I am a little jealous it is cool. This heat today is the kind that keeps you stuck inside. Thanks again for joining us at Art Journal Journey. Hav a fabulous rest of your weekend! Hugs-Erika

    It may have been quick to make, but your page is fabulous, Chris! I like the buildings left white like a sketch so they don't overpower the page. You have some fabulous stamps!

    Hugs, Eileen

    The word "seaside" is particularly lovely - such a nice stamp. I do like your page with the big seagull which gives the whole scene perspective and I think you chose just right not to colour the scene. I did that recently with a pen and ink drawing of mine. Sometimes it just works out for the best.
    a lovely page Chris.
    hugs, Neet xx
