I have been on a real splurge of creativity today! This time I have done a card for the Gingersnap Creations colour challenge which is to use yellow, orange and red.
I immediately thought of a gorgeous Stampscapes scene using this tropical beach hut scene. I love Stampscapes images (guess what, I have LOADS) but haven't used them for way too long. All stamps are by Stampscapes.
I started with a brayer adding colour from the Desert Heat kaleidacolor pad but went over it with barn door and spiced marmalade distress inks, the yellow is mustard seed and then I used broken china and tumbled glass for the sea.
I added some extra palm trees at the edges of the tag to extend the scene, a setting sun in the sky and some palm fronds to frame the top, and the sea is a section from the huge Seaside Cove stamp. This colour challenge is open till 22nd August so do have a go. I'm giving myself the evening off, so I'm ready for tomorrow's Compendium challenge, lol!

Those colours work so well, Helen - love this. I may well develop a Stampscapes fetish for a little while now, lol. Lovely card.
The colours on this are superb. What a beautiful card - so atmospheric.
LOVELY colours!
Beautiful! I love the looks of that seascape stamp.
Perfectly done! Colours are gorgeous and I love the brayered background (which try as I can, I simply cannot master!!)which was just made for the stamps you've used!
