Hello dear friends!
This morning we're delighted to welcome Hazel, a previous Top 3 winner, who is joining us to share her interpretation of our 'Summertime' theme...
Hi, my name is Hazel Agnew and I have been crafting for a relatively short while!
I have always dabbled with art, and began experimenting with this altered art style when I retired from work recently!
I
have found so much inspiration from fellow “artists” on Facebook and
Twitter and several Blog challenges…not least Countryview Challenge
which has an abundance of talented designers with a wealth of different
styles. I am most comfortable with messy art and work quite
spontaneously; often not knowing where the mood will take me! I get
ridiculously excited while crafting and my long suffering husband has
adopted quite a few encouraging phrases when a piece of work is thrust
under his nose!
I was over the moon to be in the Top 3 of the CountryView challenge in May. It was my very first award of any kind.
So, the topic for August is Summertime, and chosen by the extremely
talented and inspirational Alison Bomber. It was Alison that encouraged
me to join in with the Country View challenges!
I
decided to play with the new stamps by Emma Godfrey which are holiday
themed. They are so easy to use for this theme and I decided to use very
bright summery colours.
I used the Paperartsy fresco paints
by Lin Brown which have Bougainvillea in them! A colour that is now a
must have, plus Glass Blue.
I worked in my journal; using
drippage; Portfolio Pastels through a stencil; making washi tape;
painting flowers and adding a recent holiday photo.

What a fabulous project Hazel, fab colours and great composition, a beautiful project - thank you!
Come on folks, time to get a shimmy on if you haven't joined in already as we're almost at the end of the month!
We'll be back on Saturday with our last post and one certainly not to be missed!
