29 - Sweet Taste of Summer

This is a photo of Hubs sipping a fruit cocktail at the poolside in Mykonos.

For my evidence I used stripes -well, actually I've read the whole time 'strips' so I added strips of paper!! (maybe I should check my glasses, lol!) and I've used paint and sanded some off.

My top 10 ingredients for an unforgettable vacation are:
- delightful company
- luxurious hotel
- no alarm clocks
- fabulous food
- yummy snacks and cocktails
- gorgeous sunsets
- sunbathing at the pool all day long
- afternoon naps
- leisurely walks around town
- il "dolce far niente"

Helena, I just thought your page was perfect for this challenge.  I just love how you layered all the paint and paper on the background.  I wish I could knew how to do that.  The list of 10 ingredients is the perfect recipe for a great vacation.

I love how delicate the colors are and the effect of stitching and sanded off paint...
The black title really stands out and completes the LO... I love it!

Love how you tied the title to the photo and that yummie pink icecream shake. Your man looks like a biker dude in his rag dooh and shades, very cool :) Really neat background, love all the splats, stamping and paintwork. Oli tosi kivat kesälomat! xoxo
