Summer at the beach

 

Today you'll find me at Art Journal Journey joining my friend, the talented Halle of Halle's Hobbies.  By now you probably know her theme for the month of July is Fabric, lace, and trims…oh my!  Below is my possibly/probably penultimate entry.

And because I have multiple media, I'm also joining Creative Artiste's 128th challenge, where the theme is always Anything Goes.

It's obvious I named this Summer at the beach.  It is a mixed media entry.  Details are below.
 




I began by adhering a napkin from my stash to 5 X 8 in (12.7 X 20.32 cm) 110 lb cardstock using a glue stick.  I then sewed a piece of fabric torn from a fat quarter to the background using blue variegated thread.  Next I sewed the gifted ribbon in place, after which I sewed the computer generated words to the assembly.  Finally, I adhered the star button found in my stash using E6000.  
 
Thanks ever so much for dropping by today.  It means the world to me. I hope to see you and your interpretation of Fabric, lace, and trims…oh my! inspired art at Art Journal Journey and Creative Artiste's Anything Goes. There's still ample time to join in both challenges.

I love this one! The blue stripes scream beach to me. Awesome page.

Wow! This is stunning! I can see this hanging in any beach house to brighten it up. Well done my friend.

Ooh, I love this and that blue star button just sets it off. Take special care, dear Elizabeth.

That star button and ribbon match your napkin perfectly. I recognize that napkin and have a lot of them, as I originally bought a whole package! LOL

Somehow I totally missed this one (Saturday was at a family reunion) so please forgive my late visit. I really like this one with the blues and the beach theme. It feels like a beautiful day at the beach, and I can tell the stripes are fabric, it is the background fabric or paper. Either way it's super. This is a super page for Halle's challenge. Hope all is well. hugs-Erika
