Bondi Beech
My brother and his girlfriend have just spent the last year in Australia. John sent over a disc full of photos and this was the first photo on the disc called Fabulous, was toying with the idea of using that as the title! They had gone to Singapore first, but didn't enjoyed it. This photo is from their first day in Australia. They had rented a flat about 10 mins walk from Bondi Beech and could see the beech from their window!
The shells and coral are from the beech which he also sent with the disc. He also popped in some stickers which is were the Australian flag came from!
Tracy has a stitching class posted on Paper Paradise's forum. The swirls are made from white and "hairy" embroidery thread, I thought waves!!!!
I am also entering it into scrap that large photo! When I saw that challenge I knew exactly which photo would be perfect!!!
The page is very simple as I wanted all the focus on the beautiful photo! The shells have some pva glue on the inside and Glossy Accents painted on the outside, for a wet look and to protect them a little more. The title was cut on my Robo, and outlined with black pen! The journal tag under the photo has some information on their journey!
