Never Stop Exploring - 49 and Market

Hello 49 and Market fans!

Today I am showcasing another layout with the latest release - the Seaside collection. These new collections are really gorgeous - one can't help using them over and over again. So here is my latest layout

The base page is Seaside Cottage, and I have used the reverse side.  At first I used some clear gesso, and then added some stencilling with texture paste. I have stamped with a script stamp from the "Gabi's Postcards from Paris" stamp. I added some blue ink and spritzed with water. I then added some some dark navy paint splatters, and then some white paint splatters. The photo is matted on some post card cut from the Vintage Remnants Laser Cuts no 2.
I added the photo and laser cuts to the page on mounting foam for height. Using the 5 ply cording jute, I made a fisherman's knot and added this to the photo at the bottom. Once this was done, I added the light house from the Seaside laser cuts, and added foam tape that this was the same height as the photo. I have added the flowers and Seaside laser cuts in layers and also mounting these on foam as required for height. The shells from the laser cut sheet have been curled to give them a three-dimensional shape.
I made up the porthole from the archival "never stop exploring" chipboard and also mounted this on foam tape and added the little ship on foam tape in the centre.

I have then used a mixture of the Sky and Cobalt coloured country blooms, as well as one white wildflower. I have then added laser cuts. The netting from the archival chipboard has been painted with acrylic paint and I have then added some blue ink to the flowers of the archival board and spritzed these with water. I have used the rock from the "Underwater" layered embellishments and I have cut this in half and added it to either side of my flower cluster on the left. I have then added the title from the archival chipboard ontop of the flowers, finishing off with some art stones.

Have a lovely day, and thanks for visiting!
