Hi everyone,
Hope you all had a lovely weekend :)
Well I am here to share with you all today a layout I created for my Guest Design position at 2Crafty Chipboard. I was away when it went live to hence getting it up late on my blog. I am super excited to say that I am staying on as Guest Designer for 2Crafty until the end of the year!!
Well I think this might have to be my favourite layout so far this year. Again, inspiration to use shells on my layout comes from Stacey Young...I totally get how addictive they are and a great embellishment too! :))
Using some older Sass papers, love the yummy colours and some new and older Prima flowers.
See the cute 2Crafty Chipboard bike...I primed the chipboard first with Gesso, then randomly rubbed some Pan Pastels over the top and more Gesso over that again.
Ahhh... my Palm Trees and Surfboards...what beach scence wouldn't be complete without them! I basically did the same techniques with these as I did with the little bike. But on the surfboards I mainly used Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam & Glaze and added some stamping to give it a weathered look. Had lots of fun coming up with this.
Well another busy day, best keep going..
Thanks so much for visiting and for taking the time to leave me a comment...I really do appreciate it :)
