My Happy Place by Charmane Koch

 Happy Monday!

Today I want to share with you a recent layout I created using mostly the Saltwater Collection, which I absolutely love - it's definitely a fave! It was very hard to photograph and capture all the shiny, see through, glittery textury bits!

I started off by using a background I had created using the famous Amy Churchward Bubble blowing technique {it's in the Bee Arty Hive I think!} using Apple of My Eye & Polar Mica Powder and water.

I have then with a mix of HeavyWhite gesso and Polar Mica Powder stencilled the Under the Sea Octopus tentacles on the left and right of the cardstock, and starfish a couple of times onto my page.

I have used lots of different embellishments from the Saltwater Collection - I've cut out the Waves Die & used the Silver Mirrorboard Paper - I stuck these on at the end.

I coloured my chipboard title by painting with gesso first, then once dried I've added the Peacock colour.

I also cutout the Moonrock die to add behind the photo to mimic coral, 

I finished off the layout by adding the School Of Fish stencil and Snow White Colour Paste - overlapping under and over the vellum/cut outs from the Saltwater paper collection.

I love how this layout has turned out with so many different elements overlapping...

the colour of the title matches perfectly with the photo.

I hope I've inspired you to get out your Saltwater Collection bits and pieces to have a play! {Moon Rock is from the Moonshadows collection though}

 

 

 

Thanks for popping by! Happy creating!
