Play

I have done another LO for the ARTastic challenge blog. I did a LO on my youngest daughter Ella's first play on the beach. We are often down at the beach but this time she could walk herself which she loved but she also took time out to play with the sand.
For August the inspiration painting and the challenge was:

Diva Demand for an extra 6 bonus pointstry and 
work the following into your layout.

1. Ribbon =  1pt
2. A photo of a child or child playing = 2pts
3. Paint or create your own background = 3pts

It took a while to come together but I'm happy with the end result. I have created my own background by sponging the sky and used a pattern ruler to add the dark inked patterns. I roller stamped the sand with using yellow and brown ink then sponged with a cream ink over top. I have done a title out of foam letters and added rubons throughout the LO. And of course added a my own crochet flower.

My embellies. I stamped these beach huts onto chipboard using Chocolate chip ink. Really love how they came up.  I have added a fabric tag from Kaiser Craft and used ribbon with the tag and also gathered some more ribbon for a bit more texture.

This LO is a second LO to a series of photos and that is why the journalling reads on.  My kids played with fimo in the holidays and made lots of lovely shapes for me to use. I have to get over the 'not what I imagined side' but it does add a nice kids feel to my LOs.

There is still a while for the challenge so go to the ARTastic site to join in.
