Seaside - June Project 2 for for Country View Crafts

Hello there,

Here I am again with my second Design Team project for Country View Crafts and Challenges for June, with the theme 'Seaside' for the Challenge on Facebook this month.

I've made a tag this time using the mini fishes from Kate Crane Paperartsy and the little Bikini Girl from Janet Klein AALL and Create.

This project made me get out my Distress Spray Stains and have a play and was a lot of fun.  I hope it inspires you to do the same and also to join in our Challenge to win a fabulous prize - details are below.

First I created my background...

Using my Tim Holtz Splat Box to protect my workspace, I spritzed white watercolour card using the Tim Holtz Distress Spray Stains - Salvaged Patina, Broken China and Mica Spray Wonderland. I also spritzed a little water here and there to blend.

 
 
 
Doesn't it look gorgeously inviting to dive into.

Once dry, I die cut my 'sea' tag using the inner die from AALL and Create Intricatags Die #29 and then the background die in black card to mount it on. I also cut out the 'tab' that goes where the top hole is, in black card and mounted this on the top.

I stamped the fish images from Kate Crane's Mini Fishes and the cutie from Janet Klein's #423 Seaside Bikini Girl and a sentiment from the same set.

 
I coloured these with the Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor pencils and then fussy cut them out.

When I assembled all the components onto the tag, I felt the background was missing something so I grabbed Janet Klein's AALL and Create Poseidon stamps and used the small fishes to add some interest to the background. I then coloured these in with the Tim Holtz Distress Watercolors too.

 
To finish, I added some Glossy Accents for 'air bubbles' and eyes, and then added a bit of coarse string to the tab, and here it is...


I hope you like my little project and will be inspired to try it for yourself.

Seaside - June DT Project 1 for Country View Crafts

Hello Lovelies,

Here I am with my first DT project for Country View Crafts for June, using the chosen theme ‘Seaside’ for the challenge this month. 
 
You can find the challenge on here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/164920247712393 
You'll need to join the group to be able to participate. The Challenges are open worldwide as Country View Crafts do ship overseas too.
You’ve got until the end of the month to join in and can enter up to 5 times with different makes using products and brands that are stocked by Country View Crafts.
The prize for this month is a fabulous bundle of seaside goodies from Art By Marlene. One person will be selected as the winner by the random selector generator.

So, my first project is of Miss Dee (Beached Dee by Janet Klein of AALL and Create), all glam in her bikini having been ‘snapped’ at the seaside where she loves to hang out.  

Using a template of a Polaroid that I drew from specs found on Google, I cut this out, ready to frame the ‘model’ herself. 
 I stamped Miss Dee with a Ranger Archival Jet Black inkpad on a piece of white cardstock cut to the size of Polaroid card. I marked the square area that would be the 'photograph'. Then I coloured her in with Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor pencils and lightly washed the background around her with different blue watercolor pencils too.

 
Next, in my journal, I randomly stamped the fishes from Poseidon by Janet Klein of AALL and Create, with a Versamark stamp pad and heat embossed them with WOW clear gloss embossing powder. 

I spritzed the page with a little water, then ‘puffed’ a little Cosmic Shimmer Copper into the wet area and moved it around with a brush until I was happy with the look and let it dry.
 


Using dies from Tim Holtz Sizzix Christmas Cookies and Vault Love Birds, I die cut ones that resembled beach life. 
I painted these lightly with my Tim Holtz Watercolor pencils to have a pastel look about them. I also drew and cut out a sun from a piece of paper in my stash, and also a couple of white clouds.
 

I decided Miss Dee needed a seagull for company too.

I added the wording ‘Bikini Body Ready’ from the Beached Dee stamp, but individually stamped them in a line to make it look hand written line onto the Polaroid, rather than how the stamp itself is made with the words in 3 lines. I used a stamping platform to line up the words.
I positioned and glued the Polaroid frame onto the 'photo', and then added it to the page, layering my beach life diecuts around it. 
 
And there you have it. Miss Dee at the seaside. 
 


I loved making this page and I hope you like it enough to maybe have a go at making one too. 

Thanks for stopping by my blog. 
Have a great day
Hugs
Carol
