Beach Baby Layout for PHP

Happy National Scrapbooking Day! We are celebrating on the Paper House Productions blog today by highlighting our favourite techniques. Mine is fussy cutting! I think it is relaxing (but within reason). I adore the colours in the Paradise Found Collection so fussy cutting a pile of flowers was right up my alley.

I began by building a background. Here is what it looked like:

I placed a layer of gesso and then placed some wet distress ink on a piece of plastic and rubbed it on top. I also splattered some paint and colored some texture paste and used a stencil to make waves. I sued the same technique to make the path. I used foam squares behind the picture and some of the flowers to add dimension. Then I added some journaling and stickers to finish it off.
