Here is the challenge: use Duck egg blue, the word "today" and the technique "white wash".
To me this challenge screamed beach!!
I used a load of embellishments that were metal, plastic and chipboard, when you do this sort of technique try to disregard the colour, go for the texture and shape that the embellishment will add!
I took the whole "white wash" thing very literally, coating my whole page in Gesso then applying the colour till I was happy with it!
After adding the colour with mists I then went back over pieces with the Gesso to highlight, but it still needed something more, so I used a silver metallic rub on in places to bring out the texture.
I used embossing powder on the Title then threw a few liquid pearls around! The teal tape on the photo is from Sawyers Place, it almost looks like a Dymo label!
All the large shells are from Scrap FX and so is the chipboard alpha and speech bubble!
Thanks for stopping by!
I think these colours suited you so well Michelle and your layout reflects your amazing talent, love it.
