So what are you supposed to do when you are sitting in a house staring at Lake Michigan and wanting to go outside to the beach but can't because it is pouring? .... well this past weekend Chase and I decided to stamp and color .... both on Rocks and on Paper. It was actually a great way to pass some time ....
When the rain let up for a little bit we made our way down to the beach and gathered rocks for our project. The flat ones worked best, but Chase liked the BIG ones.
I liked using my stamps and inks. I also colored some of the images with my prisma alcohol markers. I love the way that some of them turned out.
We had a lot of time that we spent indoors since it was raining for a good part of our trip. I was prepared and brought stamps, inks, and papers. Here are two ATCs that I created on our trip.
This one is for a TAC ATC swap entitled "Kid's Birthday". I stamped "waves" using Reflection Blue ink and the flourish stamp from TAC's Hostess C set "spring dream".
The frog was stamped on green paper with noir ink using the stamp from "Hoppy Everything". I also stamped him again on white and cut out the eyes and attached. He appears to be "hopping" off of the card since I pop-dotted is body with foam and then adheared down his hands and feet.
This ATC was for a swap on PCMB entitiled "half inchies" these snowman squares measure 1/2" x 1/2" and we were to attach 6-9 of them to an ATC. I used TAC's mini sampler set and colored the snowmen's scarves with prismacolor markers.
I stippled the cardstock with Reflection Blue ink and stamped Let it snow in Reflection Blue as well. The half inchies were edged with black ink.
More rainy day projects will be posted tomorrow .... including ... stamping on rocks from the beach!
Happy Blogging!
