Expressions

A bit brighter than my previous beachy LOs, and experimented with a few new things that I have done before. Been wanting to try the bubble wrap print, so there is it up the top of the page, and the curly arrow is grunge board - I had seen a technique where you rub a wax crayon over it 1st (in this case yellow), then paint it, and once the paint is dry rub it off - so it makes quite a worn effect and I inked it a little too, to try and bring out the texture a little more. The alphabet is oliva for the cuttlebug and I had painted up some corrugated card board and cut that out. To make the yellow paper strip about the black lace I soaked some paper and scrumpled and folded it to the size that I wanted, then lots of layering and a few embellishments and journalling. The papers are all DCWV and most of them the green stack.
