Double Exposure Ocean Souls
Ocean Souls by Pearlywinks
Step into the wild beauty of the coast with Ocean Souls, a dramatic and atmospheric digital craft collection inspired by crashing waves, weathered harbours, moonlit seas, old sailors, lighthouses and the stories carried on the tide.
At the heart of the collection are a beautiful selection of coastal characters, including sea captains, sailors, lighthouse keepers, fishermen, fisherwomen, elegant coastal ladies, children and older characters full of personality. You’ll find both ready-to-use double exposure artwork for instant statement designs and plain character artwork without the exposure effect, allowing you to create your own completely unique double exposure designs inside Atelier by Pearlywinks.
The backgrounds take you from dramatic rocky coastlines and stormy seas to peaceful harbours, sandy dunes, moonlit water and quiet coastal paths. There are also stunning underwater scenes featuring reefs, jellyfish, shoals of fish, underwater ruins, sea caves and shafts of light beneath the surface. Alongside the more dramatic scenery are softer, quieter backgrounds designed to sit beautifully behind your main focal artwork without taking over the finished project.
Ocean Souls is packed with scene-building possibilities. Lighthouses, boats, shipwrecks, rocky formations, waves, caves, piers, mooring posts, coastal steps and other maritime details can be layered together to create completely new compositions.
There is also a huge collection of nautical and marine embellishments, including anchors, ropes, lanterns, compasses, ship wheels, shells, coral, seaweed, starfish, gulls, fishing equipment and coastal treasures. Beautiful individual seashells are included for extra layering, embellishing and building your own arrangements.
The decorative side of the collection brings together elegant coastal florals, combining soft ivory and blue flowers with eucalyptus, sea grasses, shells, pearls, sea glass, driftwood and other seaside details. These work beautifully alongside the darker double exposure artwork and are perfect when you want to soften a design or create something more romantic.
You’ll also discover a wonderful selection of nautical frames, from weathered portholes and ship’s wheels to shell-covered ovals, compass-inspired designs, anchors, driftwood and dramatic underwater grotto styles. They are ideal for photographs, toppers, characters, scenes, sentiments and shaped card designs.
For lovers of vintage crafting, the collection includes a rich selection of coastal ephemera inspired by old harbours and seaside travel. Vintage postcards, nautical labels, journal cards, chart fragments, old tickets, harbour tags, maritime notes, coastal receipts, travel labels and shell specimen cards give you plenty of opportunity for journaling, collage, mixed media and layered card making.
Finishing touches include beautifully designed word art and framed sentiments, with phrases inspired by the sea, tides, moonlight, home, journeys and the pull of the ocean. Wax seals, nautical buttons and decorative bows add even more detail for those finishing touches.
The colour palette runs through deep ocean blues, soft seafoam, misty blue-grey, weathered cream, sand, pearl, aged brass and touches of warm coastal gold, giving the entire collection a beautifully coordinated and premium feel.
Whether you want to create a dramatic double exposure masterpiece, a peaceful seaside card, a vintage nautical journal page or an elaborate layered project, Ocean Souls gives you everything you need to tell your own story.
