What ever possessed me, an orange seahorse! Shocking! Yes shocking or hot pink as well, those are this week's colours on The Summer Of Colour Challenge Blog. I have been looking for a seahorse stamp for a while but unable to find one so I had to source this drawing from the internet.
I stencilled the background with texture paste a few days ago in readiness adding Picked Raspberry and Spiced Marmalade to colourise it.
I had a piece of ribbon handy and picked out the buttons, seashell and starfish beads to add to it. I inked and embossed my seahorse and there we have it.
You can't fit much more on a twinchie (which is a 2 inch square piece of art for those who are bemused by the term)
Thanks to everyone who commented on my twinchie last week. Sorry if I didn't make it back to you but I was having a lot of trouble locating blogs on the ever increasing link list over on the challenge site. I have tried to look at everyone on the facebook group instead but have been quite overwhelmed by the numbers.

I love, love it. I can't believe you were able to make this in practically no time at all. It took me FOREVER to make mine. Yours is stunning.
Amazing that you can get that many things onto such a small canvas. Love it!

Wow, I can't believe how much gorgeous color and texture you managed to aceive on a 2 inch square. Love it.
Awe BJ this is fantastic, just my colours too!! The seahorse is beautiful, fab find and I love the embellies.

This is great. I like the way you've used the hot pink and orange for a subject that normally uses cool colours. It works so well.
Lovely, that color combo works beautifully here! <3
I think it's shockingly wonderful and very creative. Nice work.:)
It is so cute! What do you do with the 2" squares once they are done? Cheri #23

Great way to use the prompts and I really like the buttons... they really finish it off beauifully
Love this cute seahorse! What a sweet little twinchie.
I used some of my leftover background to cut into twinchies and will use them later to make collages.
Hi, BJ :). Yes, now I know what they are, and I think I shall like to try make one twinchie-booklet next week :). LOVE what you did with the sea horse, must be wonderful to live in the sea where all in there so bright and not just blue-ish :).

Hi BJ! Just stopping by to thank you for your visit to my blog and to apologize for calling you be the wrong name! I am so sorry!
Hi again, BJ! I love your sense of humor!!!
A lovely piece. I don't know how you get so much detail on a twinchie. Your drawing of the seahorse is great.
WOW, this is so cute and tiny! I love seeing little things, what a cute name for this size. The orange seahorse is perfect and the background is beautiful. This would look great in my bathroom actually!!
I think it's so pretty.I remember my mom had seahorse plaques in the bathroom when I was growing up in the late 50's.
