My Published Wintery Layout

Early this year, I received an email from my friend  Angella Peardon  asking me to create  a Wintery Layout and an autumn card for Scrapbook Creations . I was thrilled and of course said yes. My project is on page 82 of this months  SCRAPBOOK CREATIONS .. No 105 (vol 12 no 7 ) below is my take on a Wintery Layout  Treasured Memories 

 This photo was taken on one of our many roads trips along the Great Ocean Road. 

There are so many fascinating adventureous places and glorious, untouched raw pieces of nature .
I remember the wind being so bitterly cold with the taste of salt as it blew across my face,
I love Nature .. sigh !

The ocean was calm at this moment but there was a huge wave crashing 15 minutes later , 

filling this space, right where I was standing .There is so much enormous power in the Ocean.
The sound of the roaring waves is tremendous.  

 I used the hexagon shapes to mimic the rough stones, and the chipboard pieces

represent the seawed and pieces found amongst the rocks. 

 I wanted to create a rustic/rusty feel to there elements as the ocean continually crashes 

over these stones and creates these deep, rich, rustic earthy colors. 

 Imaginarium designs chipboard, Tim Holtz name plate .

Altered with Rusty hinge,Brushed corduroy  distress ink, and gesso.

Textured background with texture paste, gesso, ink and masking.
