Since becoming an active blogger in 2010 I have had the privilege to be on several Design Teams including being right here with Frilly and Funkie. I have learned that this hobby constantly evolves and opens ups so many doors for creative expression and opportunities. The artistic world is so generous in sharing knowledge and inspiring all of us to move forward and enjoy the journey! I am honored to have been asked to be a Guest Designer with my friends at Frilly and Funkie.
Living in the desert, the "Cool Water" challenge theme was just what I needed to bring down the temperature! I decided to use the Boardwalk Stamps from Artistic Outpost, which were stamped with Archival Watering Can and Black, colored with Distress and also a little water-coloring. The tag background was masked off in areas to create a land "cool water" effect and then the sky in lighter shades of blue with many flicked water drops! I added a few seashells and dyed cheesecloth to finish.
I'm sure you will agree that Terry's project is superb and will have given you lots more inspiration for the current challenge 'Cool Water...'. We are so pleased to have welcomed back to Frilly and Funkie for this Guest appearance. Make sure you hop on over to Terry's blog to see more of her fabulous work.
If you would like the opportunity to join us as a Guest Designer too all you need to do is join in with the current challenge HERE.

ReplyDeleteThank you much, Jenny! Hugs!
DeleteTerry's project is fabulous, I would love to own a beach hut like that one! The design and colours are wonderful and the addition of the fabric and shells makes you just want to reach out and touch them..... Anne x
ReplyDeleteAnne, I would love to own a beach hut like that and get away from this desert heat! Thank you. Hugs!

ReplyDeleteYour vintage seaside tag is wonderful. It makes me long for bygone days and holidays by the sea. The layering and texture you have added is breathtaking. Thank you so much for joining us at the Frilly and Funkie!!
