Adventure under the Sea

 Hello and welcome to my second project for the August challenge at Country View Challenges!

The theme this time is "I like to be beside the Seaside". You can make a beach theme or even a underwater scene.

This time I made a Art Journal page with a underwater scene.

For my background I spreat heavy body acrylic paints in different blue and green tones over the background and did some reverse stenciling with a stencil from Tim Holtz.

Then I stamped with a lot of the beautiful stamps from Rubber Dance circles and bubbles from a stamp set in blue and green distress oxides, and waterplants with black Archival Ink from the Doodle Boarders stamp set.

Now I stamped the lovely sea turtle and the shells and seastars on white cardstock and colored them with my Inktense watersoluble pencils and activated them with water. Then I cut them out and glued everything down. The words are also from Rubber Dance, called Journal Words. They are also stamped on white cardstock and cut out. Before I glued them down, I toned the white down with a blue Inktense pencil.

Now I added some bubbles with white paint and the help of several tubes, which came as a protecton for brushes. Then I made some lines around the words with a black posca pen.

Last I went with black paint and a palet knife over the edges to frame the page.

Here are some close ups:

That´s it for today.

Now I hope, you will show some beachy work for our challenge! You can win a 20 £ voucher to spend in the shop!
