Nautical Shrine

Hello all

i am back with this lush nautical shrine using products from Artful Days.

Start off by assembling the mdf pieces, this is because once you add paint the bits don't  always fit together. Once assembled paint woth white gesso and use crackle paste over the large areas. 

Next add paint to the project and then apply a little rust paste.

Glue on some green net and fake moss. I recycled the net from some fruit packaging. Then glue down the embellishments. 

Paint the Scrapcine pieces and then add a layer of crackle glaze. Once set dry brush with dark brown paint to bring out the cracks.

I painted the resin octopus with acrylic paint and then used the Prima Rust Pastes over the top. I repeated this on the shells too.

I decorated the shrine with mini shells, flatback gems and art balls.

Thank you for visiting\
