If you'd like to start from the beginning there are more details on the TSG blog. I'm very happy to share the card I made with my new stamp set for TSG, I seem to have a bit of a theme going on this week colouring on kraft card with pencils :) but I think it's perfect for the beach scene.  Before I send you on to the next stop on the hop here are some details about the set and what you need to do to be in with a chance of winning it.

To quote and old song "oh, I do like to be beside the seaside...". This card is a work of art. I'd never have guessed it was a kraft base coloured with pencils if you hadn't said so. Really, you should frame it

OMG this is gorgeous. You really worked this stamp. I even thought it was a free hand pic, and was surprised to read it was a stamp. You did a bang up job. Sorry I'm commenting late, but I'm in hospital and on a wkd pass and am trying to go back and look at your work that I missed. Back to the hospital this week.
