Relaxin at the Beach with Laura

My favorite place in the world is the beach....

So when I received the July Scraps Of Darkness

'An Ocean Tale Kit' I was so happy!

It is chock full of yummy beachy papers and embellishments!

This first layout I created I used the awesome Graphic 45 Voyage Beneath the Sea papers!

I used flowers from the main kit, floral add on and some from previous kits!

I fussy cut the steampunk mermaid and the mermaid riding a fish and the octopus from the wonderful papers.  I added a splattering of pearls from the elements add on.

 

The title piece is from the Graphic 45 chipboard from the elements add on...and I just add a few pearls 

I placed a doily from the main kit behind the photo to add more visual interest and fussy cut the frame from one of the G45 papers! 

My family loves going to the beach as much as I do.... 

I started by layering all the awesome bright colors from the Graphic 45 'Voyage Beneath the Sea' papers 

In the Elements add on is the Graphic 45 Chipboard!  The piece was perfect for my title! 

Also in the elements add on are some wonderful Blue Fern chipboard shells.

I treated each one differently....The blue shell I painted with Art-C Metallic Teal Heavy Body Acrylic Paint Tube from the main kit, the orange one I sprayed with Orange Dylusions mist from a previous kit then added some orange embossing powder.  The greenish one I used the Dylusions Vibrant Turquoise Ink Spray from the color add on.  I then outlined all of them with a white Dylusions Paint Pen also from the color add on.

The really cool shells were from the main kit and the Prima Finnabair Art Ingredients Melange Art Pebbles were from the elements add on

I added a some Prills from a previous kit to my clusters, too. 

The flowers are from the floral add on and main kit, as is the Sensations Teal Lovebug Yarn  

 

Thanks for stopping by!
