At The Beach

 SSIB ScrapStuffz Inspired By Challenge , offer another great inspiration photo for us to work with. This month image screams SUMMER! Please see below image.

 

 

 

And today is my reveal!  I really love this inspiration photo, love the scenery and the colors. Perfect for Rowan's photo at Dominican Republic, Summer 2012.

 

  

 

I used light patterned paper for my background so it's easy for me to play and manipulate the rest of the color.  Layered 4 x 6 paper with stencil and splatter to matte the photo.

 

To mimic the sand, I inked abaca fiber and layered it with surgical gauze.

 

 

                               randomly pull it to obtain ruffled look

 

Cluster of flowers in blue and pink shades was inspired by the chair color. Adding twine, shells and beach glass complement each other.

 Let's Get Sketchy July Week 1 Sketch

 

 

To create the background, I folded 12 x 12 cardstock to create an equal triangle. Cover half of the white cardstock and do the misting on the half and splaters on the other half. I used Dylusion spray ink bubblegum pink (splatters) and london blue colors (misting).

OLW - Grateful

              "Insecurity is one of my imperfections I always deal. I always have a hard time to appreciate and believe in myself. It takes a lot of encouragement and support before I set my foot forward. I push myself to get out of my comfort zone and try new things. Enjoy, learn and have fun to develop my creativity. Meet new friends and enjoy with new company. And these help me a lot to overcome my insecurities. And I am GRATEFUL for this."  June 2013

"GRATEFUL" is my 2013 OLW (One Little Word) and for this month OLW Challenge at Scrappin' Peeps, Robyn added a recipe twist with the following ingredients (use atleast 4 or 5)
