* Path of Positivity: The Sea

 

Hello

Welcome to the August Path of Positivity Challenge.

Our challenge is always Anything Goes with an optional theme.

This month's option is to design a project that is inspired by the sea.

Honours and Prizes include:

• $6 worth of images from Scribbles Designs, for a person chosen in a random draw based on all qualifying entrants.
• A badge for the following honours: Top Pick, Voter's Choice, Most Inspirational, Random Winner, DT Delight.

I decided to use Rubber Dance "Textured Sea Creatures" stamps for my project:

I heat embossed the stamps onto white card and used Brushos to colour them, adding water first then sprinkling in the crystals. I love the variegated colours that this gives. I enhanced the colours with Inktense watercolour pencils. The stamps were fussy cut popped up on foam onto the background.

The background has the sand dollar stamp from "Textured Sea Creatures" and some seaweed from "Mixed Media Borders" heat embossed in the background. Some green and blue Brushos powders were sprinkled over and spritzed with water. I also added some Iridescent Sprinkle It and a tiny amount of gold. I used Inktense pencils to add shade around the sand dollars. White paint was splattered over the background.

I used some cheesecloth and some dried flowers behind the shell stamps for some texture and finished off with three clear gems.

Here are the lovely sea horses:

This shows the dimension and texture:

And here is the turtle:

That's all for now.

We would love to see your creations! 
Just make sure that your entry is positive, inspirational, motivational or encouraging in some way!
