To The Beach!!

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
