by the sea {SPARKLE N SPRINKLE}

hello scrappy friends! 

today i would like to share a project i created with the amazing SPARKLE N SPRINKLE glitters and embossing powders - 

"BY THE SEA"

 i used a vintage K & COMPANY collection to create my page.

to alter my background i distressed the edges of the cardstock and the pattern paper, and added extra structure using dimensional paste and THE CRAFTER'S WORKSHOP masking template.

  i added gesso in the middle of my page to soften the colors. when it was dry, i stamped the large swirls from stamp sets #516 flourishes 1 and #520 flourishes 2 with versamark ink pad. then i sprinkled fiery brown embossing powder [EP369] and heat embossed the stamped images.

  to create my embellishments i die cut various beach themed shapes using CUTTLEBUG dies, white cardstock and  SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES adhesive sheets. after my die cuts where ready, i just peeled back the second protective sheet to reveal the adhesive surface and sprinkled different colors glitters and embossing powders on them.

for the seahorses i used the green nugget glitter [G1065] and the sea spray glitter [1023] - amazing colors for any sea themed project!

for the framed shells I used the hit the beach embossing powder [EP394] for the frame and the sunset glitter [G1040]...

  ... and the copper dreams embossing powder [EP268] for the center.

  i created the frame around my third picture using a SPELLBINDERS die, cardstock and adhesive sheets. after i peeled off the second protective sheet, i sprinkled bridal glitter [G1029] to make it sparkle.

to finish off my project i added paper strips, buttons and pearls.
