This month's theme is “Sea of Dreams”

I chose this girl out of the ones on the sheet I loved the colours in the image

I used some Kraft cardstock on the background then painted some white down the middle for some contrast

I then used a circle stencil to add some dimension and texture to the background making it look like bubbles in the water

I added some blue spray over the white then added some gold drizzle down the sides of the stenciled area to enhance the gold in the image

The embellishments I added were just some little metal beach-themed charms and some tiny shells and then I added some of the small art stones to look like fine white sand 

I also created this canvas as I was pulled to these images which are from the "Drawn to Movement" set 

The free-flowing clothes, the messy hair 

I love the sketchy feel

I painted the background of the canvas with impasto giving it texture and a little dimension

Then over the background, I used a black spray and a palette knife to spread it around making sure to get it into all the grooves

Once it was dry I did the same thing with a brown spray

I think it almost looks like a marble finish 

I added the paper clay frame around the outside of the canvas after I painted it gold making it look like a frame 

I added some paper clay feathers a bird and a moth to show the movement and then added positive word stickers around the images

I have an excess of pencils from my daughter in laws bridal show so I painted them and added some to the canvas along with a mini clipboard which I attached the title of the images "Drawn to Movement"

Thank you for visiting I hope you will come again soon xxx
