Beside the seaside, beside the sea

 Happy Weekend!!

The Allsorts gang are off to the seaside this time (your Anything Goes entries are also welcome!!). A lovely seasonal option chosen by Christine.

Two prizes each of two Sentimentally Yours stamps from Grafton Crafts, a well stocked bricks and mortar and on line shop offering fee p&p on all orders over £15

I have used some old 12 x 12 scrapbook papers to make my cards. The first was cut with an Aall and Create die to make the collage frame effect. The stamp set is probably an antique one from Marianne Designs that was all things nautical. I stamped each of the little plates with various stamps from the set in different colours of ink.



I had a fancy to used kraft for these to continue the vintage/olde worlde look. The toppers on the second card were on the reverse of the papers and I simply added some twine to the tag for a little extra. 

We are having a bit of a heatwave here in the UK at the moment so a perfect time for a trip to the coast, hope you will join us!!

See you next time xx

The colour combo and images on both cards have a fabulous vintage feel

Using Kraft works very well for the more vintage feel and to compliment those images and colours.

Keep cool, the boys and girl enjoyed a hose down the last couple of days, Heskey usually evades but even he was appreciative.

Very seasidey Sarah, you could perhaps link up at Cardz4Guyz where the theme is Seashells! We had a splattering of rain an hour ago but it is still very warm. The sheep are desperate for grass and water and quite a few are good jumpers added to fences that need replacing we find them all over!! :)

I love this nautical vibe. The details are so crisp, makes me think of sea breezes and salty air. Such fun and well-crafted cards
