Oh I do...

 
like to be beside the seaside. Nearly 12 months seen I saw the sea and so crafting is the next best thing! I used my Kaleidacolor 'Caribbean' ink pad as the colours are just perfect for sea themed projects. All my stamps are by Crafty Individuals. I started my making some double sized twinches and created a background using inks, plus wiped back colour with a baby wipe/stencil. Some over stamping:

Then came all the images which again were inked and also I added a little pencil crayon to give more dimension to the embellishments:


 
 
 
I decided to put all my twinchies together and make a little book. So I threaded jump rings through punched and added beads, plus some ribbon which was stamped using Teal Staz on ink.
I have designed this twinchie book for the following challenges:
Crafty Individuals: June challenge Sea, Sun and Beach
Show us your twinchies: Summer at the seaside
Summer of Color: Week 1
