A Far Away Friend
A friend recently moved permanently to Harris in the Outer Hebrides. She was married on a beach there a couple of years ago. How romantic is that? I have seen many photos of the beautiful scenery that she wakes up to every morning. I hope to visit her some day.
So when I saw the latest challenge at Addicted to CAS was.....
....I decided to play along and use Harris as my inspiration.
I used a brayer to apply Distress Inks ( Scattered Straw, Peacock Feathers, Peeled Paint) for the sand, sea and land, tearing paper to delineate each section. I lightly applied D I Stormy Skies with a sponge to create the sky. The card that was used is from Clarity Stamp which has a shiny surface and takes to ink well. The finished image was mounted on to a 6" by 6" textured card. No sentiment this time.
