Spring is in the air!! Where's the time going? April already. For this month's
More Mixed Media Challenge, the DT were tasked with using Yellow. It's not my favourite colour to work with, but I do adore seeing it in nature, so cheery!!.I had a quirky stamped image that I had in my stash and I decided to work on something a little different - and perhaps wishful thinking with wanting warmer weather and sitting on the beach.... so here it is - Life's a Beach:
I used a variety of scraps of card and paper (I have a big bag full so good time to use at least a small portion of it) in blues, greens, cream and yellow. I tore and layered up the various colours to depict sea or sand on top of some card I'd colour washed with blue paint. The stamped image with coloured using Promarkers and then fussy cut out and layered on top. The flip flops were hand cut out from a piece of patterned scrap paper and the tiny thongs cut and stuck on and a little crystal on each for some bling. I used a flower die cut for the sun, to finish off the quirky card, alongside a die cut birthday wording and some crystals dotted around.
I do hope that you join us for April's Yellow challenge at

DeleteI'm 100% with you on thoughts about summer. This card captures that thought process brilliantly! The beach and sun with that michevious smiling lady is awesome sauce! Ice cold drink anyone? :) ~Niki
ReplyDeleteThanks niki, my thoughts exactly! A nice ice cold drink on a sandy beach somewhere hot is just what we need. I have a different camera now so hoping my next and subsequent projects will be photographed a little cleaner and sharper, my old freebie camera just doesn't capture my projects in the best light (ESP on gloomy grey days when you're wandering round trying to find lightest area in home!) . Thanks for your lovely comments x
