Scrap Around the World Challenge...Bliss

Hi this is my take on the April challenge of Scrap Around the world. Its a very serene layout I've ever made...so i call it bliss...I loved the mood board the teal aqua colour, the shells the candles and sand and everything ....

Many things inspired me so ill try to mention all...I have used the webster pages designer paper beautiful chic...I was inspired by the aqua teal colour and the waves so I tried to give that look with paint and gel medium mixed and spreading it unevenly with the spatula the different shades of sea the light and the dark...then i added some crystal glitters to give the sand look at the edges...i was tempted to use the cheese cloth to give that water effect...for embellishment i used a wooden candle stand,shells,anchor and teal flowers and shaded the white ones to tones of teal....i simply love the picture that i used its my daughter when she first tried to play in sand and it was a memorable time for me...I really enjoyed making it hope you like it too...:)

Some close ups to show the details of the layers...

the texture that i created with the spatula and crystal glitters...and all the embellishments i used can be seen in more details...i painted it with gesso and give it a light teal wash...
