Whoo hoo it is Friday and that means there is a new Playing in Paradise challenge. I am hostess this week and I have chosen "All Things Nautical" as my inspiration for this challenge. I live on an island and with naval ships, lighthouses and boats of all sizes out my back door, there is a ton of inspiration.
I used the lighthouse as my focal point.. naturally. I coloured the image using Tombow markers and an aqua painter. I used a mask and sponge to make the clouds then added in the seagulls. I finished by adding the sentiment, sheer ribbon and a button.
I used pages from 6x6 paper pad from Authentique as my background, take a look at the Scrapbooker's Paradise online store for a fabulous selection of Designer Paper.
Stop by the Playing in Paradise blog, the challenge design team had some fabulous samples they have created.
Supplies: Natural White and navy cardstock, Designer Paper-Authentique, Close to My Heart - Perfect Day, sheer ribbon, misc button.
Cheers,
Nina
