Today’s project is
a features a daydreaming boy surrounded by fussy cut ocean images. I
finally ordered papers by 49 and Market and I have not been
disappointed. The designs are printed on heavy cardstock which stands
up to mist and mixed media layers very well. I ordered the Sand and
Sea collection. The colors are vibrant and harmonious, and mesh with
this photo perfectly!

This layout is
centered on the “B” side of The Lookout and surrounded by images
fussy cut from Tangled and the accompanying image strip.
Sea creatures
die-cut from Rinea Foiled Paper Pastels Variety Pack are slipped
between the photo mat layers. I added a phrase sticker from Studio
Calico for the title.
My newest crafty toy
is the Stamping Gear by Inkadinkado. I peeled it from it’s
packaging Saturday morning and immediately put it to use. The upper
left and lower right corners are stamped with repetitions of a
nautilus shell from the Under The Sea stamp set.
To get the look of
space between the fussy cut layers I inked the edges then crimped
them up just the tiniest bit. I did add a strip of foam under the
title. The rest is all an illusion of carefully bent paper and ink.
After I fussy cut
the images from Tangled I had a large piece of cardstock still
available. I straightened out the edges and made a card, again using
the Stamping Gear. A bit of washi tape and stickers completed the
card.
