Happy Little Beach Huts by Tracey Fairgrieve
10:59
Hello everyone, hope you've all had a
great weekend?
I'm sharing a one picture creation
today as life has been very busy over the past week with not much sunshine to
brighten those busy days. This was made in the hope that it would encourage
that sun to shine as we in the UK cling onto the last few weeks of our Summer.
Here's my pure and simple *Happy Little
Beach Huts*...
*How to Do's*...
1: Take a 5 x 5" piece of linen
card, mop up Salty Ocean and Antique Linen water spritzed inks.
2: Sew edges of card and add cork,
lace, ribbon and twine to recreate the sand and sea.
3: Stamp the Beach Huts from the Marina
Stamp Set onto Linen card, colour and cut out.
4: Paint a 8 x 8" Panel in white
Gesso, stamp and emboss the screw head stamp from the Textures Collection Set 1
and paint over with white Gesso.
5: Mat and layer with contrasting black
and white card and mount on to the white/greyboard panel.
6: Finally glue on those Happy Little
Beach Huts.
I had intended to make a hanging project
but due to a chaotic week the rope I had planned to use seems to have gone into
hiding (like everyone else when I have one of *Those Weeks*).. Haa haa!! I'm
sure i'll find my hidden object to add that final touch sometime soon.
Have a great week everyone, take care
and lets hope our sun comes out of hiding !!..
Creative Hugs
Tracey xx

DeleteSo very sweet, and really summerly, Tracey. I love the feeling of fabric , from stamping onto linen card ,-and all your texture, so beautiful looking , --like sand and sea. It would truly look wonderful hanging, when you find your rope :-)
