I did get in the sea


This is my proof that I do occasionally go in the sea....it has to be hot for me to get in the sea, and I love body boarding too.  I used the August quirky kit for this page, and had a play with my new gesso and a new spellbinders rose die too.  I started by using a prima mask with the gesso, I made me own piece of card and used it to scrape and paste the gesso on the mask, I then layered up my pieces of paper.  The papers are mostly sassafrass sunshine broadcast, American crafts peachy keen and the text is GCD studio soul food.  I also added in a section of doily, the ribbon came in the kit and I cut this in half and layered it up as it is really thick.  My new purchase was the spellbinders rose die and I had seen a tutorial over on such a pretty mess that I had to have a go at.  I made the flowers out of some of the American crafts paper and manuscript paper, and then added a twine swirl to it all and sponged on some bits of gesso.  Here are some close ups.

  1. Oh Sweetie this is gorgeous (as always) such lovely pinks in your layout. The flowers are fabulous - finally posted on the Urban Faeries thread but there only seems to be me and you on it at the moment - what shall we do?

    Hope you have a great family weekend

    Hugs
