I have created a mixed media scrapbook page using the Nautical Stamp set. There are two sets of Nautical loveliness to collect and both are equally detailed.

To create the background i used a mixture of stencils and used them with modelling paste to create the embossed areas. I then used brusho inks to add a layer of colour and then applied gesso over the top with a palette knife. I then added more ink and stamped round the page using the textures from the Journaling set.

The material is cheesecloth and i added it between the paper layers and clustered embellishments around it.

I keep adding layers until i am happy with the way the page looks, Adding stamped embellishments for more depth. Age papers using walnut ink or a tea bag.

I used layers of banners to create a background to add the title.
