It's August and apparently, it is really, really hot - everywhere but here on the Oregon coast! It is overcast and about 60 here. My son called earlier today (from Oklahoma) and said it was 117 degrees!
Holy crap!
At Fresh Brewed Designs, our month-long challenge for August is "Hot, hot hot!"
This is a FBD rubber stamp image called "Cordelia in the sand". Isn't she hot (and just a little sexy!)
She is stamped with memento tuxedo black ink & colored with copics. The background page is brayered with memento inks, some copic shading and a white gel pen on the water for texture. The DP is DCWV photo stack. The sun, crab and clam shell are from Our Craft Lounge. The birds are a stampscape stamp. The ribbon and brads ar from my stash.
I wish some cooler weather for everyone else and some warmer for me! LOL
