Nautical/By The Sea...

Hi Everyone...welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog...thank you for joining us for last week's "Flora and Fauna" Challenge...I hope you can join us this week too because...

and the theme for this week is...
NAUTICAL/BY THE SEA
I created a travel journal/notebook with the French Riviera Collection from Prima...the matching stencil...sea shells collected from the beach...sequins...Idea-ology Linen and Crinkle Ribbon.
I covered the WeR Memory Keepers 6 x 6 chipboard with paper from the Prima French Riviera 6"x6" paper pad and then ripped the plank paper into strips and fixed in place with Distress Collage Medium Matte. 
I cut up a selection of images from the Journaling Card Sheet included in the paper pad to create a collage...
and then I created some texture using Studio 490 Wendy Vecchi Embossing Paste and the matching stencil...
I applied a coat of Distress Collage Medium Matte over the collaged images and created a shadow around each one with the Faber Castell Walnut Big Brush Pen...
I cut strips of Idea-ology Linen Ribbon and teased it out to resemble netting and decorated with a chipboard starfish from the French Riviera Chipboard pack...seashells collected from the beach...sequins and an Idea-ology Vial filled with some dewdrops from my stash.

I used the WeR Memory Keepers Cinch to create my notebook...spritzed half of the Crinkle Ribbon with Evergreen Bough Distress Spray Stain and tied to the wires.
I was a little bit out of my comfort zone with this project because there was NO STAMPING but no doubt...normal service will probably be resumed next week.
