It's me again, here is another posting!!
I know a bit of a shock!!
I generally don't post all of my makes, as I don't want them copied.
So I finished making this last Wednesday
and took the plunge to post it.
I used two kits of boxes from Tando,
that I had to put together with a bit of glue.
Then came the job of
deciding how I was going to decorate them!
I needed to, before I glued them all together.
I wanted to make a clock in one of the bigger boxes,
which was only 10.3cm x 7cm.
The surfboard I made from a piece of Balsa wood.
The shells we collected on our Spanish holidays,
many moons ago!
The Beach Hut, was a Paper Artsy set of nautical stamps,
that I bought from The Craft Barn.
The Beach scene, I painted with Distress Inks onto
The Langton Water colour 300gsm paper.
Just added a bit of fencing, moss and boulders (beads!).
The boat in the small box, was a Hobby Art stamp set.
I stamped it twice and decoupaged the body of the boat.
The background was just done with Copics
and a bit of dusting with chalks.
The Seahorse was a free die on a magazine and the To The Beach
sign, I made from another piece of Balsa Wood
.
I then framed the whole thing with Drift Wood, that I collected
from a beach. I had to treat it before I could use it.
That process took 3 weeks to sanitise it!!
Well I hope you like it.
I don't have any craft fairs for a few weeks, so it will
have to wait to see if it will sell!
I still have a few more projects to post!!
So thanks for stopping by and to those who left a message,
on my last couple of posts, a big thank you.
Big hugs
Carol
