Seagulls

Seagulls, a photo by HikerCynthia on Flickr.

I started with an idea from the Banana Frog blog--create a grid using painters' tape and Color Wash.

I already had the photo picked out, but I noticed that the gulls were kind of on the purple-hued side. (Really old photo!!) So I threw in some purple cardstock and purple letters.

Just for fun, I added the lime green stuff. The journaling card is actually from a paper swatchbook I bought at a scrapbook store that was closing. They had tons! Cool, textured paper.

I was totally grabbing random things off my work desk by then, so the Nehi bottle cap was added for a bit of color.

I love how the flowers came out too. I just sprayed them with Denim Color Wash and they really look like denim fabric--so cool!


Supplies:

We're getting clouds and wind from Irene--and I'm hundreds of miles away from the hurricane. I can't imagine what NYC is going to look like. Praying for the East Coast!!
