Hello to all my lovely friends,
I am so happy you are visiting my blog today for this post I made a layout again.
For this layout I have used tons of amazing chippies and a picture of Abbey on the beach in Greece August 2023. I really enjoy working with all the pretty chipboard pieces by 2Crafty Chipboard and the amazing new "The Beach is Calling" collection by Graphic 45 wow
I had so much fun creating this layout that I am going to make another one hahaha enjoy my post...

All the chipboard pieces are treated with white gesso on the seashells I used some matte acrylic paint and on the edges I added some brown wax to mimic the rocks in the picture. I couldn't help myself while I was creating this layout I kept on adding more and more chippies. I cut out the word "Sunshine" out of the beautiful phrase "Your Smile is Like Sunshine Title" but firstly I wanted to use the whole phrase but it became to cluttered on my work so I left the rest out.

On the photo adornments & reeds I added some white crackle paste and later I added some spray paint and matte acrylic paints to make them look a little weathered. The word sunshine was coloured in three different colors white, light blue and dark blue to match my layout.
The seahorse I coloured in three different colors I used some waxes & several acrylic paints. On the backgound of my layout I added some coloured crackle paint which I coloured with magicals powders. I also altered the flowers myself to fit my layout and in the end I added some white spray paint, art stones & some antique jewels.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog I sure hope you like my work as much as I love making them.
Stay happy & creative
much
