Hello everyone!

I like to travel. There are places where you feel that the earth's end is here. Only water and wind are ahead.
You are impressed by the elements and feel an inexplicable delight from everything that happens.

Such feelings arise when I am near any lighthouse. This is my magical place. The wind blows all unnecessary thoughts out of my head, leaving only meaning.

I have chosen 2 products from August Art Recipe. It is Gesso and Art Pebbles. To create my canvas, I took a piece of cardboard, and I covered it with Finnabair White Heavy Gesso twice.

I made a bit of texture using Finnabair Stencil - Iris Tapestry and Finnabair Texture Paste - White Sand.

Having placed the photo into Prima Memory Hardware Parisian Arch Shutters, I lifted it onto several layers of cardboard. Thus, the edges of the base of the shutters became invisible and a place for decor appeared.

I used lots of Art Alchemy Metallique and Sparks colours of Paints and also Texture Fantasy Paste (all supplies are listed below). They helped me to create rocks, sand and the pouring sea. I mixed colors for transitions.

I added some embossing using Prima Clear Stamp - Gothic Book , a few clay figures from Finnabair Mould - Stars and Moons and Fairy Garden, some lace, chipboard pieces, Kora Projects die cuts and flowers.
