Dreaming by the Sea

Hello Friends! Larissa here with you today with a card I made using the Clip Art Sheets. 

I have been trying to work out of my comfort zone lately and thought about this card being the perfect project for me. 

I started with one of the images from the Clip Art Sheet BY THE SEA

I took the image and transferred it onto a piece of watercolor paper using gel medium. Once it dried I roughed up the edges of the image a little to give it the worn vintage look. I then added some clear sealer to the top of the image.

Once it dried I wanted to tone down the image so I added a pearl shimmer paint to the top. Just a very thin coat. 

 I liked the way it aged the image. Before I adhered the image to the card front I turned it over and sprayed water all over the back. Once it dried I was happy with the way it looked.
I roughed the edges of the card front a little to also give it the vintage look. 

I wanted to add a sentiment to the front but could not find any that I really thought went with the image. So I pulled out my drawer of embellishments and found this little round embellishment that said Dream!
It was perfect. It finished off the vintage look I was going for.
As much as I would love to send this card off to a friend I fell in love with it.
I decided it would look better on my shelf in my studio so I grabbed a 4x6 clear frame I had and slid the card inside.
What do you think?

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed my post.
Have a wonderful day friends. 

July Nesting Components Inspiration

Hello PWP Fans, Norma here with a quick dose of Nesting Components inspiration for you!!  I totally love the PWP Nesting Components kits and eagerly await their release each month but what I love even more is seeing all the different projects that can be made with one single kit.

So the theme of this month's kit is "By the Sea" and Dana wasted no time putting gorgeous projects together.  I've even had a little fun myself; so here is a little collage of our projects!!

Dana kicked things off for us with this gorgeous assemblage piece.

She even shares a tutorial on putting this piece together HERE.  Next up was our "By The Sea" Blog Hop and we both had fun playing with our kits!

Dana created a second assemble piece to compliment her first project.  You can see her post HERE.

I created this ship's wheel with crescent board and my kit.  You can find out how I put it together HERE.

Dana also created this GORGEOUS tag, CLICK HERE to see her post!

Then I got in on the tag fun with this "By the Sea" tag.

So have you picked up your kit yet?!  If so, we'd love to see what you're making with it!!  You can share your creations with us on Facebook.  If you haven't picked up your kit yet, you can do so HERE but don't wait too long because this kit is flying of the shelf!!

Thanks so much for stopping today!

HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY PEEPS!!!
