Reality Changes by Linda Pearson

For my project today I was very excited to create using the brand new Saltwater paper collection by Amy Evans.


I went a little crazy with a variety of Embossing powders and Mica powders to create some awesome mixes to highlight the elements included.  As always this journal page could easily be adapted to include a photo image for a scrapbook layout.

Ocean Floor 12x12 paper

Something Fishy 12x12 cut-outs paper

Cut out several elements from the cut-out page e.g. 2 corals bunches, gold seahorse, 3 fishes (asst sizes) or as desired.

 

Ocean Floor 12x12 paper pounce Versamark clear embossing ink through the School of Fish A4 stencil, then sprinkle a mix of blue/green Embossing powder powders add some Mica powder – shimmery colours and glitter if desired, over the clear ink, then heat set the powder to activate.

 

A and B  Under the sea A6 stencil Add the octopus to the top of the paper with texture paste then, add the seahorse to the page also with texture paste , allow to dry thoroughly.

 

C  Add the School of Fish A4 stencil to the background of the Ocean Floor 12x12 paper then sprinkle a mix of blue/green Embossing powder powders add some Mica powder – shimmery colours and glitter if desired, over the clear ink, then heat set the powder to activate.

 

D Waves metal die – In this instance I used the waves dies as seaweed, coloured with blue/greens Embossing powders mixed with coordinating mica powders to add some shimmer to the elements.

Aquatic Life clear stamp set – stamp the shell, starfish and sponge stamps (twice) onto a piece White Cardstock – Bee Arty A4, with versamark clear embossing ink, then sprinkle with cream Embossing powder , heat set to activate powder.

 

 

Colour the textured seahorse with blue/teal Shimmer dust powders.  Once dry arrange the cut out and stamped elements as desired with shells and sponges covering the bottom of the page.  Adhere with liquid adhesive and mounting tape as desired to add depth to the elements.

 

 

Cut around some of the coral reef (printed on page) to allow some of the coloured shells etc can be tucked in behind for providing depth to composition.  Wrap the tail of the yellow seahorse around the cut coral piece.

 

Distress the border of the page using black archival ink, accentuate the distressing to the bottom area to add shadows to the reef.

 

 

 

Add the sentiment to the page using mounting tape, distress the edges.  Adhere 2 fish cut-outs to the card edges.

 

I hope you are inspired to create this or similar project using this gorgeous collection.  Look forward to creating for you again soon.  Bye for now from Linda.
