Round Robin Time at Swirlydoos!

It's been a while since I have played in the monthly Round Robin over at Swirlydoos! Every month Peggy graciously hosts,posts and supports the talented Swirly girls. See the current one here. I was lucky enough to follow a gorgeous page by Donna and created this:

 The twist for the this month's Round Robin is something warm and what's warmer than a beautiful day at the beach?The pic is one of my faves of little Vivien running down the beach. I can see her little toddler self running and laughing at the sand squishing between her toes!

Here are some close-ups:

The colors and background of misted texture paste was directly inspired by Donna's background. I have had this Scrap FX chippie for ages and it seemed so right for this page.

First, I painted the whole chippie with Texturez paint in "Artie Choked",then highlighted all over with Silk paint in "Azurite". I added Ranger crackle medium to the circles to make them look like sea-glass.finally I rubbed Distress Stickles along the edges to make it sandy.

Thanks for taking the time to visit today and stop by the Swirlydoos forum to check out their other challenges!
