CCG - 198
Ok, this was my take on the Design call, I must admit I struggled to find a pic that went with the design challenge, but this was taken in Clovelly/Devon which is like time has stood still and no cars are allowed and the postman even has to deliver up and down the little narrow streets to to deliver everything with a sort of basket that he slides down if it's too heavy can you imagine trying to get anything delivered. There is a quaint hotel at the bottom and we vowed we would go back one day and spend the night, still to do LOL! I used cosmic shimmer in greens and blues on the large chipboard frame and then stickeled the edges, lots of shells, starfish and some gold metal embellies from Primark, the boat and old suitcase came for a Webster's paper and the background paper was My Minds Eye/Lost and Found. I used Cosmo Cricket Glubers to make the flower if you have not tried these it is so much fun, cut a clock face and added with a Tim Holtz facet. Huge congrats to the new Design Team, so jealous, wish you all the best at CCG x
