We Lived Beneath The Waves

On each of the tables, at Escape 2 Create,
there was a gorgeous easel and chalkboard.
And with each chalkboard was a piece of chalk and a yellow sponge to clean the chalkboard.
Our sponge had been used so had splashes of black and grey over the yellow.
For my third page (I will share the second one later) I was set a little challenge.
While at retreat the gorgeous Nicole Aspinall sat next to me, at table 10.
When I made my pages she was intrigued and we chatted about processes etc.
She told me that I should make a page based on the colours of the sponge.
So I did!

Again, this page was made with play in mind

  6. Love it! Who needs patterned paper when you have all kinds of bits and pieces to creat your own canvas? Love the story too, explains just a little of the mirth drifting from your table towards us :-)
