The Scrapbooking and More Creative Crew challenge for this month was to use circles on your layout, and that made our snorkeling pictures jump to my mind! I like to hang these pages in lovely frames in our house, so they are home decor too :) Usually they are of my grandson though, lol.
We took turns with the camera and got lots of great shots of the fish and coral. And a couple shots of each other :) SOOO much fun!!
- I cut a piece of watercolor paper to 8"x10". Then I watercolored patches of Crushed Curry, Emerald Envy, and Dapper Denim, layering the colors and drying with the heat tool between colors. Then I splashed clean water on the panel, let it sit for 30 seconds or so, then dabbed it off with a sort of clean clothe. This removes some of the ink colors in splash patterns.
- Then I pulled out my Circles dies and cut out a variety of pictures with 3-4 sizes of circles.
- I played around with the circle placement until I liked it, then I lightly adhered the circles with tape runner. Then I decided to stitch them in place with my sewing machine to help highlight the pictures more.
- I took sentiments from Sunshine Sayings and stamped them on the watercolor paper.
- Then I placed the page in an 8"x10" photo frame. All done!
