May 2012 SS Club Layout 2 Beach

Wow! You are so, so good with Brandy's Ultimate Artist Action! Great idea to combine a painted photo with the painterly bg. I am so drawn to your watercolor picture in this, but I also really love the way you varied the colors for your title, to convey sand and sea. The "light touch" of the colors and embellies really enhances your theme. I also REALLY like the softy painted clouds, and the sand grasses look great. Simply charming in every way!! BTW, I am SO jealous that you were in this scene and at the beach already, LOL!

Well, the artistic photo looks great! I like the background, too - it looks great.

Beautifully done page Diane! Great job with Brandy's Ultimate Artist Action and I love the "painting" you did with brushes. I love all of it and I'm adding it to my favorites

I really love what you did with the background paper! It feels more like a sand dune then the rolling hills I had originally envisioned! Your colors are beautiful and the whole page feels very peaceful!

Wow! this looks good and I do like the beach/ocean. Your background just looks like a beach scene and well done with the work on the photo. I can see you had some fun with this page.

Diane! This leapt off the gallery at me! Your work on that photo is wonderful, I just love how you faded out the 'paint'... It looks fantastic... And Laura is do right... That looks exactly like sand dunes we have here with little grasses growing on them more than green rolling hills and I think that was such a creative take on the club... Painting on photos is fun but you have taken it a step further... Try the art diary brush from marchs Ss club if you enjoyed this :-) fabulous page!

Wow! Beautiful LO! I love the colors you used. Great photo, too! Love the added touch of the paintbrush!

Wow, this is gorgeous and I can't believe you colored and put this all together yourself with the club. WOW! Wonderful paint job - background and on your photo. What a lovely look. I really like your embellishments and what a super job you did on this page. So creative and beautiful.. Really great!

This is absolutely gorgeous. Just wonderful in every way Well done!!

Great layout. I thought you actually painted with watercolors at first.

Stunning! Your layout is beautiful. The colors are perfect and your photo is stunning.

Gorgeous background! Love the painted photo, it blends in beautifully with the rest of the layout.

Dear Florida Granny,

 

I love what you did to your photo and the background. Oh how I wish you would step by step tell me what and how to do this project. (Or come to my house and sit beside me while you tutor me.) I'd better start reading Roe's book again. Anyway, I can't get over the beauty of your page. Well done!

I really love your whole concept for this layout. The painting within the painting and both painted so artistically. I love the watercolor feel you accomplished with the photo painting and the pastel or oil feel to the background paper. The clouds, paintbrush and background are great and the extracted letters are awesome. What a beautiful job.

Oh my goodness Diane what a fabulous layout - I love everything about it --- the painted background (great job), the paintbrush embellishment AND Brandy's action on your beautiful photo --- love it!

Your use of the club is fabulous and really different. Lovely layout, and as you will see, I have scraplifted it!

Wow Diane, this is stunning. I love the texture of the bg paper and the painted look of your photo. Such a pretty photo. Well done.
