Oh boy! I tried a whole bunch of new things when I put this layout together. This was my first attempt at water. I really cut up the stick girls, bending them at the knees and arms and in half. I made my own exercise fins and foam weights and put different swim suits and hair on them. That was fun stuff! I used my new paper crimper on some blue vellum then cut it "wavy-like" and mixed it with some bubble patterned paper to make the background of the water. An irridescent tissue was cut "wavy-like" and laid on top of the girls to make them look like they were in the water exercising! Then I punched drops of water and glued them around like splashing. This was the MOST fun! |
