The sea and symmetry
Hello Everyone and thank you for calling in at Jumbled Crafts. We really enjoyed our Spa day yesterday though I am aching in places I had forgotten I had. Not sure if this means I should do more exercise or give it up altogether. The main thing was that Vic really enjoyed it and it was his birthday surprise so that was good.
I have done a digital offering for the Sea Challenge at Art Journal Journey
The background is one of our photographs taken in Bridlington Bay with the coastline in the distance. I used a lot of effects on it as usual. We do have a very active yachting club ob the bay.
I chose two famous lovers to illustrate the song. Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton playing Anthony and Cleopatra--so 2 sets of lovers really.
I used the first verse and the last verse of Robbie Williams version of Beyond the Sea
This week at Tag Tuesday the theme is Symmetry. I was stumped for a while then I found things in an envelope that I had cut from old birthday cards. I made my tag from one of those.
Others had wonderful ideas and I feel humbled to have opted for something so simple.
Hope you have a great day
Love Chrissie xx
Two fabulous creations Chrissie, the top one is so romantic lol and the second so colourful and cheery..x

ReplyDeleteLovely creations Chissie, and I'm glad you both enjoyed your spa day - hope it was worth the achy bits today :-) xx
ReplyDeleteFab page - lovely photo and effects and perfect lovers and lyrics! Your tag is gorgeous - wonderful symetrical image with awesome colours - a fab find! xxx
ReplyDeleteI'm very impressed at what you have done with your photo, it looks like a painting.
ReplyDeleteIt's very romantic with the young Burton and Taylor and the old song.
Beautiful Sea collage, your digital artwork is always amazing, I have no clue how it's done. I love your tag, great colours. I have been working on a Seaside journal page, hopefully I can get it to a point where I can join in the challenge at AJJ. Take care, Shirleyx
ReplyDeleteFantastic collage, Chrissie! Beautiful photo effects and images. Love the tag and colours.

Gorgeous work today Chrissie, I am loving your diagonal tag!! I'm in the same boat as you today. We spent the day at the zoo and when I woke up this morning, I could have sworn rigamortis had set in because I was stiff as a board!! HAHA! Glad your hubby had fun though. hugs :)
ReplyDeleteMore fab creations Chrissie xx
ReplyDeleteTwo wonderful pieces Chrissie, love the sea page and how you use your own photos, something I will have to try soon I think. Sounds like you had a good Spa day, and Vic enjoyed the surprise.

ReplyDeletePerfect pair with the stormy romance.

Lovely card you made too.

Envious of your spa day! If it hurts I think it means you need to go more often! Both your journal page and the tag are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, double lover trouble - could there be a better pairing (or two better pairings) to reflect the stormy oceans of love?! Hope the spa aches pass soon!
