Scrap the Boys DT - Explore, Dream, Discover

It's the first of February and time for the new DT at 
Scrap the Boys 
to reveal their interpretations of this challenge.
I hope you will be inspired to play along with this month.
The theme is the Great Outdoors; the words can also be used to inspire, 
but you are not restricted to creating in blue - use any colour/s that suit your theme.  

 I chose to scrap a recent photo of our Grand Boys at Marion Bay.
They spent hours running in and out of the sea, jumping, squealing, laughing and occasionally pondering about life, the universe and more important matters such as when the food would be ready and what was happening at the Test Cricket. 

 My aim was to create a sense of space and freedom by extending the photo; 
blending it into the page and into the horizon.
The background painting was done on watercolor paper with Tim Holtz Distress Oxides.
I added some Marine themed Chipboard from Scrapmatts.  
The foreground was created with Prills, sequins and Mini Art Stones from Prima.  
The metal seahorse and the anchor are from my stash.


I enjoy reading your comments and appreciate you leaving them.  Thank you.
