Sunday Postcard Art - Vintage Bathing Beauties!


If at first you don't succeed, try, try AND try again!!  This is my third attempt, (modelled on an English seaside postcard), at this week's challenge!  
I drew the bathing shed (where these 'beauties' changed!), applied gesso & distress ink to the boards, sun & shells are stickers, the beauties from a book and their background is a K & Co paper.

  1. You are an early bird! This is fantastic! An absolute winner - so creative and so well done.

    The challenge opens on Wednesday but may be up on Tuesday to catch anyone who sees the notice on our blogs. (Think Mona Lisa, think altered).

    As for my inspiration for my messy children in ACF ...I had to look no further than my four-year-old grandson who has a fascination with anything to do with colours and he doesn't stop at the easel having once painted his white miniature poodle/Maltese terrier in technicolour. His mother (my daughter) allows him to play in her kitchen sink with food colouring so every time I see him he has bright blue hands or a green and spotted face.
