I do like to be beside the sea

That's a fact.  Although born in Lancashire (St. Annes) most of my childhood memories are of the south coast, Hampshire and Dorset, where we moved when I was about 8.   Today I live in the East Midlands, Grimsby to be precise and delight in walking and cycling on the banks of the Humber.

Well with a pedigree like that on seeing the Tag Tuesday prompt for this fortnight I knew exactly what I wanted to do.  Did I have a simple stamp of a yacht?  Yes the perfect image in part of a magazine cover set from a couple of years back.

Here is the how.   Image stamped and then masked.  Big and Juicy baryered over for the water, DI used for the initially blue sky.  Over the blue Yellow, Orange, Pink and Purple have been dusted.  Next felt pens touched over, used a water brush to try to soften it and discovered this card stock does not like water!  My first reaction was "oh poo, ruined it", not wanting to give up to easily I played a bit more with the felt pens and realised that they add rather than distract.

All I had to do then was remove the mask and colour the little sailing boat, and add some white pen marks for the horizon and wake around the vessel.
