Remembering the the moment we stopped to cool off while driving around
Milos Island in Greece. Love the gorgeous papers by Mintay for my beach
vibe along with my favourite 2Crafty Chipboard which was Gessoed as
always before transforming it.
2Crafty Chipboard used…
Frame Louisa’s
Leafy Shrub set 3
12x12 Weathered Clock Face Frames
Moroccan Bits
Foliage set 1
Seashells set 2
Title- You, me & the Sea
Sitting the title on top of the Louisa's Frame gives it more definition.
Adding a seagull brings the beach aspect in from my photo. Both pieces
were coloured with my Prima Watercolours and the title was sponged with
Gesso once dry to tone done the colour.
I love the Leafy Shrub that looks like waves alongside my floral
composition. Along with a piece of the Foliage set that I cut down.
They were watercolored and sponged with a little Gesso. Seashell on
the right under a flower had Finnabar wax rubbed on with my finger.
This allows the details to still be visible.
Another piece of the Leafy Shrub set sits beautifully with my die
cut ephemera. Moroccan Bit adds some texture to the design. By
painting with watercolours you can m watch your papers perfectly.
A close up of one of the Seashells so you can see how wax rubbed on
darker on the outside and lighter in the middle highlights the design of
the shell. There is also another Foliage piece just over my photo.
Underneath my photo composition I placed the Weathered Clock
which I watercolored the roman numerals in a different colour to
the frame for contrast and representation of this moment in time.
Thanks for stopping by the blog and taking a look at my work.
Until next time...
