Seahorses....

Hello Friends

Here in the UK we have a Royal wedding today!  I wish Prince Harry and Meghan Markle the happiest of days and hope they have a wonderful future together!

I wanted to share a very quick post, I have been playing with a brand new stamp - Cindy Seahorse by the talented Kassa Hayselden (Kassa - delight in the detail) for Stampotique - I can't seem to stop stamping and colouring them...

I don't have any step out photos (sorry), I just got a bit carried away making this!

I stamped a few, coloured them with different colours of watercolour pencils.  I 'reverse stamped' the end one, on the right, just to see how it would turn out.

Here is a close up of two of the little beauties.  I love how Kassa designed the seahorse, she is so adorable!

I used a Tim Holtz Etcetera tag, in the smallest size, painted it with a mix of Broken China, Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers Distress Paint and stencilled and stamped with the same colour of paints, finished with PaperArtsy Crackle Glaze.

The 'planks' behind the seahorses were die cut using my newest die - Tim Holtz Planks (Sizzix 662705) and embossed it with the latest 3D Embossing Folder, again by Tim Holtz (Sizzix 662718). The embossed effect with this folder is amazing, it really does look like wood!

  The greenery is from Tim's Thinlit set - Holiday Greens (Sizzix 658759).  The Sand Dollar and Starfish are from Tim's Sand & Sea (Sizzix 659576) Bigz die and Movers and Shapers Mini Sand & Sea (Sizzix 659582).

To finish I added some prills and some real seashells.  I also added some clear glass domes, some gauze behind the planks and some seam binding.The Starfish were given a coat of  Glossy Accents (Crackle).

If you love the seahorse too you can purchase it in the UK - HERE and in the USA - HERE. (I am not on any commission!).

Thanks for stopping by, I hope to see you again soon.

Hugs, Anne xx
