For the first part of the challenge we had to choose four sheets of paper and at least ten different items of 'trash', objects that would not be found in a craft store
I chose nautical papers and beach treasures, I was hoping to make a layout about Whitstable but for the final challenge we were given the title and the subject "This Is Me", luckily I have a lot of photographs of me at the beach so I was able to carry on with my nautical theme.
These were the rules:
Step 2
Layout size:
two pages of 30,4cm x 30,4 cm
Theme:
This is me!
Number of photo’s:
Minimum of 4 differents photos in total
You must use:
* Title: This is me!
* All the objects that you choose in step 1 must be used on the project, no other embellishments are allowed!
* All the sheets that you choose in step 1 must be used on the project, no other paper is allowed!
(at least half of each sheet you choose needs to be used by you!)
You may use:
* White gesso only, as long (part of) the objects and paper are visible
* All techniques that you like (but no ink and paints and so on!)
* Selfmade embellishments made out of your objects and/or papers
* A pen or marker for a journaling (max 20 words) - you dont have to do a journaling!

This is my layout

I diluted gesso and sprayed with it, added some splatters and stamped with it.
