well due to holidays it has been a while since i played along
until now...
so here is my summer distress inspired entry..
a large journal page ...
a large journal page ...
i would never use all these colours together in one place normally,
but was surprised
at how well i liked the finished blends of colour..
i started by making my own sprays using re-inkers and mini misters
and spritzing and blending..
then i layered on more colour suing
the summer DI and stencils..
to complete the background I added some dylusions leaves,
so LOVE these, with white highlights,
and some faux bleaching...
Then onto die cuts, wings and dress forms and hearts are a must!
a bit of wire, some lettering and ..
there you have it!
I am entering this for the following competitions :
