"Who's ready for a little sand, a little sun and a little surf? Let's take this challenge for a stroll beside the shore! Create a vintage or shabby chic project with a beachy theme. Use ocean colors and beach images to add a fun seaside feel to your project."
I was struggling a bit with the challenge and then got inspired by the idea of a little sea prince who was brought into the underwater world by a grieving queen who had lost her little boy. He joined the princess and they were raised in a beautiful underwater world.
I started with a big kraft tag that I had painted, stenciled multiple layers to create a lovely watery background.
I cut the tag up into ATC size pieces and created a few mini tag shapes along with the plain atc shapes. I then created a mix of images.
I applied white paint over the surface. Then used the splashes with blue distress oxide ink over that. I came back with the bubbles painted in white and on one of them again with a clear embossing powder mixed with glitter.
I cut out the turtles, flowers, and little girl from the Graphic 45 papers. I embossed the turtles with a shimmer embossing powder. I added some alcohol ink on some pearls to add a touch of color to the pearls before accenting the atcs.
I hope you get a chance to be inspired by the sun, beach and water!
