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.

Cherish The Memory Inspire Seaside Themed Altered Letters

Hello

I have a new make to share using the Summer Feelings paper pads available at Cherish The Memory.
https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/614685279/studiolight-summer-feelings-card-making?ref=shop_home_active_20

I started off by painting each letter with white paint as an under coat and once that had dries i then painted over the top with DecoArt Premium Acrylic Turquoise. Then i applied DecoArt Texture Sand Paste and let it set.

 

I painted on Quinacidone Gold Fluid acrylic to get the rust. I wasn't sure to go steampunk on these or not so i met in the middle and went for a water worn look.

 

Next dye some cheese cloth. 

I used blue and light green to get this colour, This stuff is great as it gets disstressed when you heat dry it so you get this worn net look.

I used heavy gel medium to paste down the cloth and then i started decorationg the letters using the die cuts from the Summer Feeling Die Cut pad.

I also added gems and beads to the letters.

I used fake moss to create this underwater look. I was thinking about the things you find in the rockpools  after the tide has gone in.
