I just adore small things....I spent some time in my past working with doll houses. I enjoyed furnishing them with little furniture, tiny books and other fun miniatures.
For this challenge I needed to focus on a place I had never visited (sounded hard to me-smiles). I browsed Flickr for pictures of Mackinac Island. I was impressed with the apparent love they have for the water! So I thought a beach scene would be great...until I realized I have no beach stamps. So then it hit me.....I could create the beach scene using copies and a white gel pen for foam on the water. Here I used an Inchie (1x) and a Twinchie (2x2)...I squished the Twinchie in white Stazon ink first so it would have texture - kind of like the stucco walls that make me think of Cape Cod (where they also love water) which is my home town.
I did one Stampin' Up Notecard size, and one 3x3 without sentiment.
Enjoy!
