What A Beautiful Mess: 49 and Market "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlotte"

Hello Friends. Today I am here to inspire you with a layout created with Vintage Artistry Shore collection, featuring laser cuts from the vintage Artistry Coral collection. I started the background by adhering the bonus 12x12 piece of paper (The back of the cover of the collection pack) from the shore collection to a piece of corrugated cardboard. Then I adhered a slightly smaller piece of paper (Tritons Shell) to another piece of corrugated paper and adhered it to the larger one. This set my base for decorating. I added the fabulous Roughly Sewn rub-ons in opposite corners, and Washi Tape in the lower right hand corner.

The photo was matted on top of a layered cluster that I created using elements from the Shore Ephemera pack. I did some machine sewing on a couple of the pieces and distressed the edges. I tucked in some leaves that I die cut from papers in the 6x6 paper pack. I tucked in the flowers, wire curls, and distressed berries around the layered ephemera. The laser cut butterflies are from the Vintage Artistry Coral paper pack. The paper twine wreath was used under a die cut tag, and I adhered the photo to the tag and placed the file folder on the top of the photo. I used a couple of strands of jute through the hole in the tag. I did some stamping around the edges of the cluster.

The cluster on the opposite side was also created by layering pieces from the Ephemera Stack. I die cut some lacey butterflies and leaves using papers from the Shore 6x6 paper stack. I just stacked and added layers using chipboard underneath for height and depth. Once all of my elements were in place, I did some stamping and added Wishing Bubbles and Art Stones to finish the layout.
