This week I wanted to share a layout featuring Visible Image's new and hugely popular Ripped Fishnet stamp!! I knew when I saw this stamp I wanted to do a layout featuring beach or sea theme! It makes the perfect netting background. I used my Vintage Photo Distress Embossing Powder for a great rough texture for the netting!
I also had this great Molossi Dove chipboard piece (used here for me as a sea gull!!) that worked perfectly with the bird stamp from the Free Your Imagination Stamp Set! I inked the birds in Walnut Stain and Peacock Feathers Distress Inks and had them flying across the page from one corner to the other!
And because it is just a beautiful brilliant background stamp (say that 5 times fast!) I inked up the Bronte Border again for this layout to add some beautiful detail! It really is a great script stamp to have in your arsenal! I also misted and gessoed another Molossi piece, Flower Swirl #1.
I added some corregated board, a piece of lace I dyed to match the layout, some shells I stole from my girls stash (better buy some before I steal them all!!) and a tag for journaling. I wrote here about all we learned about on our Italian journey, how to enjoy the slow pace and not try to see every cultural monument on our checklist...our children taught us we needed balance in our schedule, time for just having fun while we were there too!!

Another gorgeous layout Cathi, I love all the elements and the texture, and fabulous use of stamps. Hugs P xxx
Gorgeous page Cathi! I love how you used the fishnet stamp!
Cathi those stamps are just beautiful and it looks so good behind your photos. The birds swirling across the page create magic movement. The texture on your background page is wonderful and I love the chipboard with the corrugated card. A truly beautiful layout. You have such lovely handwriting and I think you got great advice from your kids on balance on holiday. This is a beautiful layout. Thanks for playing along with us this month at OUAS :D
Your gorgeous stamping is so perfect for this rustic seaside layout, Cathi!! Love the chipboard swirls and bird across the photos. Thanks for sharing how you included your hidden journaling on the tag. Thanks for joining us for the October Once Upon A…Sketch Challenge and for posting your LO on our Facebook page! ~ Blessings, Tracey
