TSG Sneak Peeks Day 2: By The Sea

Welcome to day two of sneak peeks for the new TSG release! We are showing cards made with a a beautiful ocean/beach themed set that was illustrated by talented Chris Dark. Today the hop started at Chris's blog and hopefully you came here from there since I am the second stop! :)



The images in this set are just beautiful! I very much enjoyed using them to make this sweet beach scene. Now if only the view from my house was of this instead of my neighbors' yards and blacktop. Hmmm... wonder if anyone would notice me digging a big ol' hole out there? Hee hee. :)







Some details: I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black, airbrushed the sky using Copic markers and colored the sand directly with a couple of brown Copic makers. For the water I first watercolored with Bashful Blue reinker and then overlayed with a bit of Shimmerz Blingz paint in blue. I also added a touch of the Angel Dust Shimmerz to the sand and the clouds for additional shimmer.







By The Sea is a 6x8 stamp set that includes a total of 37 stamps and will sell for $24.

Would you like a chance to win the By The Sea stamp set? Here’s what you need to do- go to each of the Trendsetter’s Blogs and leave a comment on their By The Sea Blog Hop Challenge post. After you have finished checking out the eye candy and have left some love, return to the TSG Blog and add your name to the Mr. Linky at the bottom of this Blog Hop Challenge post. A winner will be chosen randomly using a random number generator to receive their very own By The Sea stamp set. The winner will be announced Saturday (May 29th) during the Release Party Chat.


Finally the next stop in the hop is the uber talented Donna. Can't wait to see what she has made! :)
