{Summer fun...}

Hello everyone!

Sun O'Clock is the new beautiful collection by Lady Pattern Paper.  Visit her Facebook page for more amazing inspiration. I love this collection with the matching chipboard pieces so much.

In August this year my daughter and I had the incredible opportunity to visit the West Coast region to see the spectacular wild flowers in bloom. It was amazing.  Every turn in the road paints an unforgettable picture of daisy-filled valleys, eye-catching succulents and the roaring Atlantic Ocean. 

For this layout I used the Flamazing and Lazy Days papers for the base of my layout.

Here is my layout.

 The title was heat embossed with yellow embossing powder. 

 The shells were first covered with coarse gesso.  Once dried I covered them with cream acrylic paint and dabbed brown ink on the coarse parts and sides and lightly rubbed with wax.

 I covered the palm trees with white acrylic paint.

For the seagulls I used the beach mask, a finger dauber and black ink. From the cut-out sheet I used some of the phrases and two journal cards.  I also used 2 bar code strips my layout.

  

When everything was glued down I added art stones and splatters with diluted white gesso and black ink.

Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope I inspired you.

Happy crafting!
