ARTastic Challenge for May

Hi there! Over our hol's in QLD, DH & his son had a few games of Boulles...so I took some "Old Man" snaps of them in their errrr....bowling hats????!!!! ARTastic has a challenge where you need to draw inspiration from this by Drysdale:
 
and also use the theme of 'outdoor sports'.
Here's my LO:
I used BoBunny paper for this one - it had the 'look' of the painting I wanted. I've distress inked along the top, with a blue, to sort of copy what Drysdale has done on his painting...but mine's much more subtle!
Love those little tickets by Idea-Ology! The little glassine bag & string are from Greatest View & the seagull I picked up in Tassy on hol's.
Lots of distress ink used on this one. It matched with the art work!
More of my Tassy vintage tickets, plus a row of some cut from Kaiser Craft paper...& of course...washi tape!!!
 Hope you can see how I've drawn inspiration from the painting. I find ARTastic a really interesting challenge site...I've looked for ages..waiting for one I felt 'right' to join in with!
Don't forget to check out our TWO challenges running at Scrap Friends atm...one's bound to 'float your boat':):):)
Take it easy! Lizzy H.
