Swim

As soon as I saw the Gecko Galz monthly image for June, I knew what I wanted to do with it.  It has taken the rest of the month to actually carry that out!

I coach swimmers and need a book to write the programmes in.  There is nothing worse than a plain book so I decorated the front of it:

I masked off the left hand side so the spine is still the same colour as the book orginally was.  I applied gesso to the remainder of the front cover.   Once the gesso was dry, I think applied some acrylic paints in a swirly pattern.  I let that dry and then added some Cosmic Shimmer in blue and white over the top. 
Once I had the background done, I stuck down the image, lettering and some ephemera.  I still have to seal the front cover to keep it clean but have learnt from experience to do that after I photograph it.

I would like to enter:
