"Me & My Big Brother" Beach Mixed Media Layout by Toni

 Hi everyone, hope you are enjoying your summertime... a big difference from last year. I'm in California and we are already experiencing triple digits !! Today I have for you a fun beach layout with lots of textures and mixed media applications. 

I added craft sand with clear crackle texture paste for some fun texture and dimension. The beautiful board pieces I used Beautiful Board Chunky Chain Link Frame Set of 2 Laser Cut Chipboard Frames which I added crackle medium and then stained with Distress Ink in Walnut Stain. 

One of our newest pieces to the store is this delightful Beautiful Word Large Me & My Big Brother Laser Cut Chipboard which I also used crackle medium on and sprayed it with Lindys Afternoon Delight Denim and DI Frayed Burlap. The Beautiful Board Starfish With Accents goes perfect with this layout as the Beautiful Board Large Nautical Anchor. Both were treated with the same crackle medium and sprayed and inked like the pieces above. 

The sweet  Beautiful Board Beautiful Bits-Seashells Laser Cut Chipboard are perfect for tucking in and around your photos. The florals I used are Navy Blue Roses and Leaves Mulberry, Mini Dusty Blue Mulberry.  To finish off the layout I also topped off some of my fussy cutting pieces with the gorgeous Gawdie Girl Diamond Fine German Glitter Glass .

Now another perfect way to add lots of texture to your projects is by using Reneabouquets No Hole Microbeads and for the month of June here is a COUPON for you to get your hands on some. Adding them to a gel medium or texture paste is perfect way to add glitz and texture to your project. Another very cool way I love to use the microbeads is to take my glue gun and drop a glob of glue in the container and cover the glue with the microbeads. It cools almost immediately take it out and use it as floral centers.... it's a fun and pretty technique... Here is the coupon details... xoxo
