There she Sails


I was thrilled recently when I saw I had been lucky to get  a Top 3 award at Country View  Challenges and even more excited when they asked me to be a Guest designer  for this challenge.

The theme  is Nautical.

The first item, I wanted to use was this Lynne Perrella image, which was heat embossed then water coloured. I edged this with Frantage power-Aged Aqua.
By now I was looking in the stash pile for papers to use as layers, as you can see they are from a Graphics 45 stack.
It was fun dying the netting [originally a sort of putty colour] I used paints, sprays and even acrylics, I would have preferred it to be blue like the colour my hands were,  but green it is. All the other additions came from my stash.
This was a super challenge and I enjoyed making this piece


Thank you all for stopping by to take a look. The comments you leave me are always appreciated.
