The inspiration piece at ARTastic this month is a painting by Charles Meere called Australian Beach Pattern. Here’s my take on the challenge:
Maybe it’s a bit too much of everything but I couldn’t help myself. It was SO fun to pick up a photo from last summer and scrap a summery layout in the middle of the long, dark and cold winter! (When I did the layout it was -20 Celsius degrees over here - and we were NOT eating ice cream on the beach…). :)
I used gesso, acrylic paint and some stamps on the background. And there are a lot of summery details – flowers, strawberries, flies, bottle caps and ice cream brads…
Mmm… I long for a warm day at the beach…
Thanks for looking!! I hope to see your interpretation over at ARTastic!!!
Take care!!
What a fantastic colourful LO, I love how you have created the background and the the use of patterned paper. The photo is so sweet :) Not much of an icecream weather here either, but not as cold as at yours.
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic!!! Helene, I really love the mix of patterns and colours here! Really gorgeous! The two banners at the bottom left - are they material or paper. Lovely patterns!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the energy and the brightness of your layout Helene!Trying to get my head around -20C. That's our mid-day winter temp. here!I really like how you have set all the bright off with the timber as the base. Looks great!
