By The Sea


I love the sea, although sadly I do not see it very often, and then I only see it from a distance as unfortunately beaches are not wheelchair accessible, but at least I can see it for which I am very  grateful. 
With the sea in mind I created this 7x7  card. The background is from the gelli plate. I inked up the gelli plate and then placed the netting from some tangerines over the top, and it left this nice netty pattern. I cut some pieces of bark for the seagull to stand on, I must admit I don’t like seagulls as one of them swooped behind me last year and snatched my sandwich right out of my hands!  



I also added some art stones and few tiny shells, some stamped and some real.To finish off I wound some twine around the edge of the circle.

The stamps I used  are by Crafty Secrets.

Thank you for visiting today, have a lovely day. Hugs xx

  1. A beautiful created scene Jannet, I love to see the sea but have a fear of what lies within so ships/boats are a bit of a no go for me. So I enjoy it's vision and calming sounds from afar. Great use of the netting on the gel press, what a great background. Those words are so heart warming.

    P.S Those pesky Seagulls, I witnessed one take flight with a fried fish portion from a poor girl in the sea side town of Barmouth once.. Least she was left some chips!
