Hello Everyone!
I am SO EXCITED to share with you that I am the Guest Designer this week on
the Pause Dream Enjoy blog! YAY! Thanks to Janis for having me ... what fun!
The theme for today's challenge is:
BEACH / OCEAN
I must admit I don't go to the beach very often (red heads sunburn easily, lol) but the few times I've been to the beach it was fabulous! Walking along the shore line, watching the sea gulls and listening to the waves crash against the beach ... how relaxing. But as I watch the beauty of the ocean waves I often imagine all the amazing creatures beneath those beautiful waves ... do you believe in mermaids? I did when I was a little girl and in fact, I have a niece who is in her 20s who honestly believes she was a mermaid in another life. And, the way she surfs, swims and spends time in the ocean ... I think she might be right!!
I just received this fun Little B 'Mermaid' die set and couldn't wait to create this scene. But first, I needed an 'ocean' background which I created using a 4x6 sheet of watercolor paper and three Tim Holtz distress oxide inks ... Broken China, Faded Jeans and Pistachio. I just kept swiping, spraying & drying until I got the affect I was looking for.
My first intention was to make this a shaker card ... but I was so busy putting my scene together JUST RIGHT that when I was finished, I realized I had forgotten the crystals that I wanted to add! Oh well! Guess you'll just have to use your imagination! LOL! Where is my mind??? I was so careful to cut all my panels the same so they would fit perfectly together ... used the foam tape for the dimension needed, and I even hand cut a clear packaging panel from one of my recent Sue Wilson die sets to use for the 'glass' front' (repurposing is a good thing) ... all that work and forgot the crystals ... duh!!
