By The Bay... I am a Rock...

Hope you are singing away to the "I am a Rock" song by Simon & Garfunkel by now!!! I certainly am...

So I mentioned yesterday that I did not see the sea shell in the small image in the By The Bay stamp set (Yours for Free with a £45 order during the Sale A Bration promotion!)
So the only thing I could think of was a rock aka an island!! Hence this card with an extended sea scape off to the right... I just hand drew the horizon extension using the thin end of the Basic Grey marker pen... Birds added care of High Tide...

Oh...and this time I used a Rectangle Stitched die cut Thick Whisper White rectangle I had lying around... so AquaPainter watercolouring was not an option... so I sponged all my background colour instead... and used the Blender Pen to take ink off ink pad lids for the detail parts...
I have now (unfortunately!) seen another use for the image... but I daren't share as it is one of those "you will never get it out of your head" .... a definite spoiler!

She sells... sea shells... on the sea shore...

So... out of interest... is this (title) a tongue twister used all over the world? Or is it a UK only thing!!?

Another quickie Narrow Note Card  from the By The Bay display... greeting from Home to Roost as it was out and it seemed more relevant to the little scene... 
Now... initially... this image had me stumped... and I definitely didn't see a sea shell... but more on that another day...

And this one does qualify for the Stampin' Up!  #simplestamping challenge... simple little Gray Granite stamping of the sea shell and greeting on Shimmery White card... Aqua Painter watercolouring of sand and sea using Sahara Sand and Pool Party
Simple... quick... but effective little card...
