49 & Market - Beach Vibes - Go with the Flow

Hi guys,

Claire back today with another summery layout using the Beach Vibes collection from 49 & Market.

For this layout I'm reverting back to my white cardstock and applying gesso to help me create a watery mixed media base using watercolours and a brayer. 

Whilst the design is a simple one, I'm going all out with coloured layered embellishment clusters to showcase two photos from a recent holiday. 

I chose some driftwood frames from the Die Cut Elements and offset these behind my photos.

Next, I pulled out some leaves, florals and icons from the Laser Cut Elements. To create depth and dimension I lay some flat and added foam if different thicknesses behind others to draw you eye into the photos.

To create balance, I tried to add the same colours in each cluster, as this makes the layout feel more cohesive. I also curl the leaves around a pencil, giving them movement. 

I reached for the Chipboard Words to add a title across the bottom of each photo, with an extra small subtitle for a sunny pop of yellow.

This was a lot of fun to make and I'm sure will be making a lot more with this gorgeous collection. It's so perfect for beach days and summer vibes. It's already proving very popular so grab it here. 

Until next time, happy scrapping! 

Claire xx
