Hi Lovelies,
Today in Australia it is a special day. Every year on the 26th of January we celebrate Australia Day. Normally we do this with BBQs, parties etc. Most Capital Cities have fireworks displays & planned events. These include becoming an Australian Citizen & Australians of the year, of which there are a few different categories.
So in honour of our National day I have created this Distress Inked image on watercolour paper. It measures 4.25" x 5.50" about the size of card. I am planning on putting it onto the front cover of my 365 Grateful/Art Journal/Smash Book. I love these colours as they remind me of the outback at sunset/sunrise. The dandelions are a perfect addition to represent the dry harsh outback. The water dots remind me of sunshine on glass.
Have a great day, enjoy your weekend & if you are an Aussie Happy Australia Day Mate :).
Supplies:
Watercolour Paper
Distress Inks - Walnut Stain, Tea Dye, Frayed Burlap, Wild Honey, Tumbled Glass, Broken China, Stormy Sky, Chipped Saphire,
