beach babe

Good morning! I actually have a second creation to share this week!
~ Ü ~


The theme for this is vintage bathing beauty, and I have chosen to use a natural palette, with bits and bobs thrown in. The burlap base gives it a rustic feel, which has been enhanced with bunting and buttons. The bunting flags are cut by hand, then raised with foam pads. I have a thing for flourishes, and have added them on either side to frame the main image. The background is a misted and stamped piece. There's a frame just behind the image, with muted corners and edges all done in swirls and flourishes.

Hi
Vintage is always my preference so this appeals to me greatly.
A wonderful image (is it stamped?) and love the muted colour scheme.
Thank you for sharing with us at FSC.
