This is my second project for IC407 and Eastern Accents is our inspiration site today. I was so inspired by the whole Coastal Tidings Collection Holiday section found here: http://holiday.easternaccents.com/co...IDCategory=795
I loved the soft blue of the shells and wanted to create a monochromatic scene that would reflect the bitter cold weather on the north eastern coast line in winter. I visited Cape Hatteras, NC in November one year and there was snow on the dunes and the wind was bitter and cold but it was so beautiful. I created a frame that was sponged with bordering blue ink and then white washed with picket fence distress paint. I really love how this turned out.
