I am pleased to be guest designer for Mirtillamente challenge which is anything goes. Check out the design inspiration and get your entry in here: mirtillamente-challenge
Sea la vie is a play on words from french "c'est la vie" (that's life). I used torn tissue paper layered for the waves and dipped the torn edges into white Distress Ink for the froth. The octo body coloured with Copics and misted with Shimmer which is really hard to photograph as it is quite subtle. The fish are diecut from satin silver card. I put them in for company so Octa didn't get lonely. Fab image; you can get them coloured and uncoloured.
Sentiment: Woodware
Dies: unknown
Also: Copics, DI, tissue, washi, Shimmer Mist (body), Stickles (eye).

Oh goodness - what a fun face on that octopus Carol! and such a great sentiment with him! Wonderful torn paper ocean! Julia xx
ReplyDeleteI really like your 'sea' making method - very realistic! I don't like octopus, they give me the shivers but yours looks friendly. Or is that just to trick me?
