LIVE EVERY MOMENT ~JUNE CHALLENGE AT ANOTHER FREAKING SCRAPPY CHALLENGE

Hello to another new month , half the year gone already, is it just me or are they zooming by at a frantic pace ?
Anyway I digress ~ the new challenge at AFSC is to create a layout with a technique you have not used before or a tool you have not used before or both :)

Live every moment

I have made a start on the holiday photo's ( only a few thousand to go !!) This photo I took at Copenhagen.

So the techniques I used ~ 
The new technique and product for me is the aqua crayons, I purchased  whilst overseas.  I have gone around the edge of my canvas under the photo with a aqua crayon and used a water pen to move the colour around and to give the watercolour effect. 

I nearly always use twine/thread and satin seam binding on my layouts. I find it softens and also creates a nest for flairs etc. The gorgeous flair is from StudioFourteen40.

Thank you Jo for the diecut circles and clear house.

I also find gesso a great product for so many uses. Here I just rubbed gesso around the edge of my layout with my finger to create a frame for my layout.

Thank you for calling by. I hope you get a chance to join in the challenge at ARTastic this month.

Love , Peace and Happiness
