Our Just Us Girls Challenge #831 Word Week is all about Play. I had a couple of options but I just love Colorado Craft Company drawings by Anita Jeram and went with her Beach Life stamp set. These little animals are definitely having a good time playing in the sand at the beach. I remember as a kid when burying someone in the sand was a fun thing to do. I was into sandcastles and collecting shells. Here's my card with its crude colored pencil skills.
The products I used:
- Colorado Craft Company Beach Life stamp set
- The Greetery Postage dies
- Papertrey Ink Build a Sailboat die set
- Altenew Obsidian black ink pad
- Prismacolor colored pencils
- Wink of Stella pen
- White Signo pen
I stamped the images, then colored for an evening and the next morning. It's not great, but you get the idea that there are bright colors amongst the animals and their beach tools, and more subdued colors in the sand, surf and sky.
Be sure to visit the team's blogs for all the details and why they chose something for "play" as the theme. Our guest for July is Bonnie and she'd love for you to stop by her blog as well! Please join us with your version of play: You can play an instrument/music, play a board game or sport, play a character in a play, play the lottery, etc. We can't wait to see the gallery!
Happy Summer!

An incredibly cute 'play' scene here, Carol. The critters are definitely having fun at the beach. So many delightful details in this image; the cat in the sand makes me laugh and seriously, how cute are the itty bitty crabs. Wonderful inspiration!
