Journal 52 week 4: Silhouttes

It is an other GRAY day here in our neck of California.  I didn't get out early enough to show the FOG that preceded the gray.  Don't pay any attention to those flowers.....they are fake...LOL  I couldn't keep real ones alive in that during the summer, so I just "faked it!"

 

With weeks of these gray days I start longing for a was beach to sit on and watch the sunset, so when Chelle, over at Journal 52, sent out this week's prompt, this is where it took me.

 

 

Here is a quick photo tutorial on how I did this journal page........or just skip to the comments...LOL

Anyway you choose I just want to thank you for stopping by

Masked off the horizon, laid the silhouette of the beach in, then added yellow and pink in the sky.  I used all acrylic paint for this journal page

 

I used a brayer to blend in the sky

After pulling the tape off I laid in a few silhouettes of clouds 

The nest step was adding the water

I needed a silhouette of some palm trees, so I printed off a digital, I have stored on my PC.  I used scissors and that exact-o knife to cut them out. 

 

Once everything was good and dry I just free-handed the lettering in, with a black Sharpie, and gel pens......doodling the word sand.

 

The finish....again

 

Closer look, before I put in the break water, at the doodling of the word sand, where I also stuck the week number......grin

I also want to give a shout out for Unruly Paper Arts and their Readers Art Quest (RAQ).  They have a challenge this month and this photo for inspiration. 

 

I am thinking I might just link this up over there.  I just used the Global Traveler, not the colors...................what do you think???

 

Don't forget to let me know you came by.

Inky Hugs
