Bathing Beauties At The Beach

 

Yesterday we hit a record high for Wichita, Kansas (USA).  It was 108 F (42.22 C) with a "feels like" 113 F (45 C).  I suspect even my heat loving friends will find it unbearable. 

Today you will find me at Art Journal Journey, where I'm joining my friend Erika, who many of you know as BioArtGal.  Erika's theme for the entire month at AJJ is In the good old summertime.  And because it's Friday, I'm also joining Nicole for Friday Face-Off and Gillena for Art For Fun Friday. 

It's obvious the title of this journal page is Bathing beauties at the beach.  Detail images are below.

 

 

I began by creating one of my favorite backgrounds where I combined a blue Staz-on reinker with 91% isopropyl alcohol.  However, when I auditioned the layout, I felt it was lacking.  I decided to adhere a napkin from my stash to the 5 X 8 in (12.7 X 20.32 cm) 110 lb background using a glue stick.  I then added the image I found in my stash.  Next, I added the computer generated title using a glue stick.  Finally, I adhered the two gold sea shells I found, along with other stickers, on a basement shelf I cleaned last week. 

 

Thanks ever so much for dropping by today.  It means the world to me.  I hope to see you and your interpretation of In the good old summertime at Art Journal Journey.  Bleubeard and I will also be joining Nicole at Friday Face OFF, and Gillena at Art For Fun Friday.
