"Salt in the Air" by Marie Johansson

Good Day Crafty Souls!

I´m here today to show you my inspiration piece for the July Challenge "Sea Fantasies".

The Sea is something precious to me. I grew up by the sea & spent all vacations throughout my childhood and youth on a boat with my parents. I still live by the sea - I can watch it´s marvelous scenery from our house, and it never stops to amaze me. I could not live anywhere where there was no sea or water in sight!

You have until August 14 to link up your project inspired by the moodboard:

I ended up making this Art Journal spread with textures from AB Studio stencils and loads of random stamping and Tattered Angels mists, high impact paints & glimmer glam paints. Stickers from 7 Dots Studio add the final touch.

Daria Schukina

Всем привет! Я очень рада оказаться приглашенным дизайнером в одном из своих любимых блогов в очередной раз. Морская доска меня покорила с первого взгляда! У меня получилось вот такое панно с рыбкой, которую я сделала из веток, а украсила всевозможными морскими украшениями. Надеюсь мне удалось вас вдохновить и вы обязательно окунетесь в морскую тему и поучаствуете в задании этого месяца! Вдохновения вам и прекрасного дня!

'Upon the shore....' by Lisa Griffith

Hello Mixed Media & Art friends!

Lisa here to share my project inspired by the beauty and pure calm of the ocean.

'Upon a shore....'

I was so inspired with this moodboard! (as always)... I chose a photo of my little man soaking up
some sun on one of our beach vacations, and found the perfect little starfish frame to tuck into
my canvas. I covered the whole surface with Prima white crackle paste, then I added
some watercolors and glued down some seashells, resin pieces and flowers.

Here are a few close ups:
