Showing June first because I like it the most...two friends drinking coffee in their swim suits on a diving board.
The image is from a thrifted book that I altered very simply using one of my best paper tricks. I wanted to highlight the one girl's crazy-cute hair so I slipped a pink doily halo behind her. I don't use a craft knife or anything complicated...just cut into the image, around the girl, and then a little farther on the diving board. Everything gets glued back down anyway and the cutting lines disappear. Try it, I promise it is easier than you think.
I painted the water with Martha Stewart glitter paint in antique silver (LOVE that stuff). I wanted to put something on the tray between the girls but didn't want it to detract from the halo. I used a pencil to write "I will paint it when I have time"...a passive-aggressive nod to an upcoming painting task that I am just not feeling.
The 5 x 5 for May is just OK.
I liked using the masking tape and the ruffled paper made a good cover for a mistake.
i love it!!! great image too!
