Relaxing on the Beach

While I look out my window at a foot of snow,  I thought of working on something that would brighten my day.


I love going to the beach and just sitting back watching the waves.

I started out by misting the background paper with 3 different colors.  I just wanted a subtle touch of color.  The S.W.A.T. Basic Training this week was to use misting.  So glad I stocked up on some new colors!
I added some pieces of trim that I just got in the mail.
The chipboard pieces are from K&Company.
The canvas banner was from Prima.  I inked the edges just a little bit, threaded them together with some twine and added some tiny pearls.

The sketch I used is from Paper Stories.  I love that I had to cut my picture into segments.  I don't usually like doing this, but for this picture, it was a perfect technique to try.



Have a great day!!!
