Underwater Mixed Media Layout

Hi Scrappers! Do you know 13arts? It's a polish blog and shop, and they are just aaaawesome! If you're like me a Mixed Media lover, you seriously have to check them out. They provide you with beautiful inspirational layouts and art, and they sell great stuff! Indeed I have to admit that I love the Polish scrapper-girls style a lot.

Anyway this is my first layout for one of their challenges. This project is for the 13arts challenge #14.
It's about using their sketch, at least one medium and the word "time" in your title. This is my interpretation:

I used white cardstock for the background and altered it with different glimmer mists, ink sprays, silver modeling paste and some perfect pearls powder. The mask I used is a fishnet mask by Jenny Bowlin, and matches perfectly with my underwater theme and all these teal and turquoise colors. 

Behind the picture I glued some real fishnet down and the die cut looks like a coral :)

I stamped a compass and some watches on glossy stamping paper and dry embossed them with an embossing pen from the back. 

I distressed all the edges of my scraps and crumpled them a little bit 

This was the sketch I used: 

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day! :)

Scrap & Music #18 - Nothing Else Matters

Another beautiful sketch provided by Scrap & Music! This time they choose a song by Metallica - Nothing Else Matters. I took two photos from our holiday in Egypt. We were snorkeling a lot and took many pictures under water. Finally time to get some of them scrapped! Here's my take on their sketch:

I took different shades of green/blue and beige for the papers to match them with the pictures. I think they look a little bit like the color of the ocean. Behind the clustered papers I applied a layer of white crackle paint and covered it with a little bit of distress ink after it was dry. After that I spritzed a bit of different mists and sprays. 

At the edges of the banners I used a little bit of embossing powder to give it a more interesting texture. 

 

I had no more space for my journaling, that's why I decided to make a "hidden" pocket tag by making a cut behind some of the layers.

On this picture you can see the texture of the crackle paint.

As title, I took the "life is ours" lyrics from the song.

And this is the sketch I based my LO on: 

Thanks for stopping by :)
