'Happy Holidays', is the new challenge theme chosen for us
by Toni over at Stamps and Stencils.
Its holiday time so whether you love the seaside or a city break,
we would love to see your holiday inspired projects.
Please pop over for all the details.
A layered mixed media card from me for this theme. The base was embossed, painted over with blue acrylic paint [a mixture of a few shades]. Then I rubbed it over with white DecoArt antiquing cream on a piece of scrunched up paper tissue.
Next the stencil of the beach Huts [Sheena Douglas]
I used a variety of Distress inks for this stage.
Then on to add some texture, sorry but I have no photos for the next few stages. All gone off on their holidays, as I think I accidently deleted them from the camera.
So fast forward, I added some sun rays using texture paste and for the ripples on the sea. Messy fingers for this stage and an old plastic store card.
I added a little silver texture gold for highlights.
All the Bathing Belle images are Crafty Individuals stamps. Other items were from my stash.
I hope you will all be enjoying some sun shine on your holidays this year.
Thank you for taking time to stop by. I always appreciate the comments you leave for me.
I love this Yvonne and the beach hut stencil is so lovely and just right for the project.

Summer holiday happiness apart from you losing your photos! Hope the storms didn't hit your area too badly yesterday- we had thunder & lightning which is very unusual here, woke me twice in the night!

Beautiful piece Yvonne! I love how you created the waves on your water, and those wonderful sun rays are just fabulous! hugs :)
ReplyDeleteOh, this card really does make me happy (and I'm probably not going to get a holiday this year so that's saying something!)... I love how the textured rays emerge out of the rainbow colours; the textured sea looks fabulous; and I just love how you've layered the whole thing together. Fantastic!
