I am absolutely delighted and honoured to host this week's challenge and hope that you will all join in and give your interpretations of Along the River. This could be anything in, on, under or above the water including things you may see along the riverbank.
My tag recalls the many happy hours as a child and also as a parent with my daughter spent feeding the swans and ducks on our local river.
I brayered the water with Memento London Fog and sponged the sky with SU Bordering Blue. The trees (Crafty Individuals) on the far riverbank were stamped in several shades of green and the riverside sponged in Memento Desert Sand through a mask.
The foreground swans,fence, bullrushes and grasses (Creative Expressions) were stamped using Marvy Markers and the trailing willow (Lavinia Stamps) stamped in Memento Bamboo Leaves.
Thank you for dropping by and please feel free to leave a comment and I hope you join in the fun!
Janet, this is a gorgeous scene! I love your tag and can't wait to get started on one myself. I'm pretty sure we didn't get to your firth when the times we were in Scotland, but we did get to Grantown on Spey, which might be the closest we got to your area. Scotland is the one place I wish I could revisit. It is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a lovely scene you worked. I think it is very romatic. Love it.
