An ornate mermaid

Good morning, it's Jane here today with for my 2nd post for our current "Under the sea" challenge. I recently returned from a week in Rhodes where we spent 3 of our 7 days on the beach in glorious sunshine. I swam each day and looked out for mermaids, but sadly they are obviously rather shy as I didn't spot any. So I decided I would create my own impression of what that scene might look like.

I used my Visible Image Mythical mermaid stamp set. If you would like to sea see how I created my card and also have a look at some of my beach photos just swim pop on over the my blog here where I have a full step by step. 

You still have 10 days left to join in with the fun and perhaps be the randomly selected winner of the £20 gift voucher. Now that is worth getting wet for!

Bye for now,

Guest Designer - Liz Cavill

Today we have the lovely Liz Cavill as our Guest Designer

I was delighted to be invited to be the Country View Challenge Guest Designer for September.  I live in the West of England with my hubby, Alan.   I was an Infant school teacher in a former life, a job I loved, but I'm now happily retired.  When I was teaching, I ran an after school scrapbooking club for over ten years with my Teaching Assistant, hoping to inspire the next generation.  All the children were 6 or 7 years old and they created some amazing scrapbooks.  I have always enjoyed crafting, something I inherited from my Mum.  In the past I've enjoyed knitting, sewing, cross stitching, patchwork, cake decorating, making corn dollies and scrapbooking.  For the last 20 years or so, card making is what I enjoy most.  My style is generally CAS, although I sometimes go out of my comfort zone and get really inky and messy!  I belong to a local craft group which meets once a month and it's always fun to craft with friends.

The image is a Lavinia stamp, 'Guinevere'. I made the stencilled background with three shades of Distress Inks.

Wow Liz, a beautiful project for our September theme Under The Sea and using Lavinia Stamps was a bonus as Country View Crafts are now stockists of these stamps. Thank you so much for taking part

Hello everybody, welcome to September!

For the underwater theme this month I made some ATCoins. My problem was - I have no stamps for a sea theme! So I had to draw some fishes by myself.

If you want to see more, feel free to hop to my blog.
