Seaside

This layout was done in a class a few months ago and it's taken me this long to find it again. I was, and still am, in love with everything sun, sea and sand. I have loads of dies, stamps and stencils which I use to make bright and breezy layouts however with this black and white photo of my mum and her sister and brother I thought I needed to tone it down a bit.

The two sea horses were stencilled onto black card and cut out. By turning one over I was able to add my journalling to the reverse.

I added hand drawn bubbles and a swirl stencil to create the background.

I used Distress Oxide Inks through seashell and starfish stencils to complete the look.

I love the Oxide colours but to make them brighter I spritzed with a fine mist of water to make them pop. xx
