On a Sea of Strawberry Lemonade

This week at the Summer of Color  the yummy flavor prompt is Strawberry Lemonade...so I imagined a pink and yellow sea world. I love using sea themes and just want to tell you that you'll be seeing a bunch in the upcoming weeks!

The darling vintage gal is from Gecko Galz Sea Side Beauties Collection collage sheet. I happened to have pink and yellow fish in my stash from an old greeting card! I made the background of this tag pink and yellow by splashing acrylic paint around then spraying it  with a Tattered Angel  spray. A sprinkle of silver glitter came next. You can never have too much glitter!On top of that I layered some die cut silhouettes of star fish that have also been sprayed too.Over at Simon Says Stamp and Show this weeks challenge is Spritz Spray or Stencil, so Ill enter it there. A die cut seahorse, real glittered star fish and some rhinestones came next. Some Stickles accents,a pink ribbon and a sentiment complete this tag. I am also entering this at a new site  Vintage Artisans Challenge blog UK where their first challenge #1 is "vintage shabby chic"!

Hope your heart is held by someone special.
artfully yours, gerri

    And it's fizzy, too, even better . . . (the glitter makes it fizzy, you know, like a soda!)
