Creative Expressions - Sand Pit Fun

Good morning, it's bright and sunny here this morning and hopefully it's sunny wherever you are :-).  It's Monday which means it's time for my Creative Expressions Blog creation and this week I won't have a step by step for you!!!  purely because it was really easy to do which surprised even me lol.  The Beach stamps from Sue Wilson are truly gorgeous and I wanted to take the four children and show how awesome they can be on their own.  I wasn't sure if I would need to glue etc so I decided to use alcohol markers instead, also a lot of people use them so I wanted to show how they colour up (details of what I used are at the bottom of the page and colours I used).  As always I will highlight the Creative Expressions products in red :-)
I would like to enter the following challenges -

Addicted to Stamps Challenge Blog - Outdoors

They can be in a sand pit, or at the beach, but I'm sure their imagination

makes it an adventure :-)

This shell is 13cm wide and I filled it with sand (kids sand).  I stamped 

Creative Expressions Single Stamp Beach Bucket Bliss, Beauty and the Beach,

Treasure Seeker and I Spy with Memento ink pad black.

When I cut the images out I left a small flap of card at the bottom so they can

be poked into the sand so the characters can move.

And of course I so needed to use another Creative Expressions Straw Hat

embellishment, they are so cute :-).  I really expected this to be hard but

it wasn't, it's something that I knew I wanted to do the minute I saw the stamps.

The only think I regret is that I was sure I had edged the characters after I cut

them out with a grey but I didn't which means you can see the card, which

I didn't notice until I uploaded the pictures.

Right that's all for today, I have a post for everyday this week!!! so hope to see you back.  Thanks for visiting.
Happy Crafting :-)
