TIO #89 Travel - Time to make a quick get away!

This week over at DragonsDream TIO Frankie is encouraging us to dream about travel and getting away from it all, I wish!!! I've had a very busy summer with lots of extra Country Markets, Artisan Crafts Events and Agricultural shows (yep you read that right lol). I have a weekend break planned for my Birthday in Caernarfon, where I'll be spending the two days at the Castle, on a friendly plastic course with the fantastic Liz Welch. My dream this week evolved from playing with some Tattered Angels misters in a mix of many colours. I added some more colour with milled lavender and faded jeans distress inks, than embossed the dragonflies with a moonglow embossing powder in hyacinth blue/jade. The picture is from a HOTP book of travel collage. Hope you like and pop over via the link of my sidebar to join in this weeks challenge. Elizabeth x
I forgot to add this on this morning, it's an old luggage label that I found in the loft with an address for a hotel in Colwyn Bay. Who knew Thomas Cook had been around so long LOL

Fabulous colours and so dreamy. The oriental look is so different. Love the Cook tag - what a find! Not long until we spend the weekend with Liz Welch at Caernarfon, can't wait! I do hope she does some mixed media work with us.
