SS Wishful Thinking

Well today we're going on the high seas, for my 100 Proof Press DT piece aboard the "SS Wishful Thinking". I had alot of family things to do this weekend and couldn't get to my studio till late so this piece is me thinking about creating some art. The delightful stamp I used from 100 Proof Press is the seahorse 5910Q.

To make this collage, I started with a wonderful black and white vintage bathing beauties with life preservers from the Graphics Fairy. I painted them with watercolor paints and added tiny rhinestone necklaces. The seahorses were stamped on clear acetate and sparkle eyes were added. The waves are a border that I added Stickles for shimmer. There is also a border of blue german scrap sea shells. Some corner rhinestones and the sentiment "SS Wishful Thinking" complete the piece.

Hope you will do some wishful thinking this week.
artfully yours, gerri
