Hi friends sharing a special DT project for
Cuttlebugmania Challenge " Summer ". This project is very dear to me as I have tried to capture memories of our family's summer holidays to the beach and depict them on a bottle !

Beaches and bottles always go together don't they so hehe I altered a bottle for my project!
 |
| Altered Bottle |
After a liberal coat of gesso I used
Finnabair white crackle paste through
Scrapberry's Dotted Pattern Stencil on different parts of the bottle to depict the foam of the sea!!

I love this crackle paste...it is so easy to use! Here is another project using it :

For the "ocean waves" I stencilled
Ranger's texture paste through
Carabelle Studio Geometrie 1 stencil

This is one of my favourite stencil designs and here is another project showcasing it :

I like bright cheerful project so used a pastel blue paint to ink up the bottle.

One of our favourite activities as a family whenever we visit a beach is to collect sea shells and so I just had to add this sentiment stamp saying " To find a seashell is to find a world of imagination". I made the frame using Sakura air drying clay and a mould.

The lid of the bottle has sea gulls, a tiny bottle, shells, crystals and pearls...in fact all the treasures of the ocean with a liberal dusting of sparkling dust!!!

One of my most memorable summer holidays was to Goa beach and one of the highlights of that trip was the thrill of seeing dolphins swimming in the ocean!!!

On another summer holiday ...to my home in Kerala...all of us got a chance to steer a large boat...and hence I added a wheel [ a joyrcrafts die cut inked with Distress Inks and jazzed up with rainbow glitter]!!
 |

I also used clay to make star fishes ...to depict yet another holiday memory from Goa....being able to touch star fish!
 |
| Altered Bottle |
I added corals we got from Langkawi beach ...an amazing serene beach in Malaysia

The "treasures of the ocean" is a stamp heat embossed in gold, die cut and dressed up with crackle paste!

This side has " the voice of the sea speaks to the soul"!

The sand dollar is a real one ...collected from Goa beach!
