49 and Market ...Seaside and Shipwreck...Adventure Layout

 Living near coastal waters my entire life, I have so many beach photos in my collection. Seaside  and Shipwreck are two of 49 and Markets beautiful collections. But you don't have to live near the coast to create a fabulous Sea themed project. If you love sealife and mermaids, then these 2 collections are for you! I started by using an awesome Dusty Attic Fishnet #2 stencil on the background. I used a patterned paper from the 6x8 collection and mounted it on a piece of corrugated cardboard and adhered it to the background, then tucked some cheesecloth under and around the piece. I mounted the photo on corrugated cardboard as well, and adhered it to the 6x8 design.

From there, I built my design using elements from the Underwater Layered Embellishment Set. This collection of beautiful layered  pieces adds beautiful dimension to your projects. I mixed in flowers that had sea and beachy colors. I love how the little fish seem to be weaving in and out of the underwater sea life. I adore the glitter Epoxy bubbles. They give the layout a little sparkle.

Another piece from the Embellishment set, are the shells hanging on a string wrapped around a piece of wood. At first glance it looks so real. The detail is incredible. This piece made the perfect frame around the photo.

 The title Adventure is a Dusty Attic piece from the WP 35 set. I primed it with white gesso, added some crackle paste over it, and after it dried, painted it with acrylic paint.

Here is a close up of the hanging shells from the Underwater layered embellishment Set.
