"Should Have been a Mermaid" featuring Vintage Artistry Shore Collection

Hello Lovelies. Today I bring you a layout I created using the brand new gorgeous Vintage Artistry Shore Collection. The luscious colors of the sea abound in the beautiful designs of the papers. One of the newest products for 49 and market are the rub-ons. Oh Em Geeeee...You are going to love them!! They rub on effortlessly and brilliantly! To prepare the layout for embellishing, I used the Fishnet Stencil from Dusty Attic on the background. I used some colored sprays and embossing powder to enhance the colors of the paper.

The beauty of the Shore Collection are the sheets of laser cuts. For my clusters, I have layered the laser cuts, flowers, and I die cut leaves using the papers in the 6x6 Collection. I printed the title from a download I had and cut it apart, inked the edges, and placed my title on the page.

I layered the stitched frames with the smaller frames I fussy cut from the 6x6 collection papers, though there are larger frames that are laser cut in the 12x12 collection pack. I think the wishing bubbles that are scattered around the layout remind me of bubbles underwater. I added some sequins for additional sparkle, and art stones for texture.

I absolutely love the stitched frames. And the frames from the Sky collection blend in perfectly with the Shore collection. For those that do not own a sewing machine, but love the look of the stitching on frames, these are perfection!! Ready to frame your memories.

The Shore Ephemera Stacks have an abundance of awesome pieces for layering. I think the stacks have so many useful uses, and I can't wait to use them in my next Junk Journal. They are a Junk Journalers dream!! I tucked in some die cut leaves and topped it off with a flower from the mini series. Under it all I used Washi Strips as well.
