Hi Everyone Kerrie here with a layout created using the NEW Couture Creations Sea Breeze Collection
I created this layout for a class I taught last month in Brissie and loved it so much I thought I would share it as my blog post for the Couture Creations Blog
I love this photo of Bezzie, Leith and I taken on a stop off in Vanuatu while we were cruising earlier this year
Instructions
1. Firstly when
cutting papers, Keep all barcode strips
2. From
Collecting Shells paper cut a piece 25cm x 25cm from the center, giving a 2.5cm
border
3. Distress the
edges of both pieces and then ink the edges
4. Cut from
Adventurous paper the top section to create a swag
5. Also cut from
Adventurous paper 1 x 15cm x 7.5cm, 1 x 16.5cm x 11.5cm and 1 x 12.5cm x 6cm
6. Cut from Windy
Beach paper 1 x 13cm x 11.5cm and 1 x 6cm x 9cm
7. Lightly and
roughly paint the outside edge of border piece, set aside to dry
8. Paint
Embossing folder using Forest Green paint and randomly stamp onto 25cm square
piece of Collecting Shells paper along the bottom 3rd section
9. Using a finer
paint brush flick some paint splatter to the top 2/3rds of piece,
set aside to dry off
10. Paint metal
charms using Forest Green paint and set aside to dry
11. Add some water
to paint to create more of a wash effect and paint fence die cut, while still
damp scrunch the fence to give some character, set aside to dry

strips and tear Collecting Shells strip down to 24.5cm, Cut Windy Beach strip
down to 8cm and Adventurous down to 5cm,
13. Distress the
edges of all papers and base cardstock
14. Ink all the
edges using brown ink pad
15. Using foam
mounting tape adhere the border to base cardstock
16. Use Turbo Glue
Pen or Double Sided Tape to adhere center square down inside border, do not
place tape or adhesive right to the edge as you want to be able to curl the
edges back, giving a more distress and shabby look

swag

across the top, then add portions of fence

papers to go under photo, I stapled them together and then adhered them as one
piece
