A Thursday hello to you all! Today I'm sharing my make for Finnabair Brand Ambassador post. The theme this month was "Shabby summer memories with Impasto and Liquid acrylics". I've included a list of the Finnabair materials used in this project to the end of the post. The links go to Mixed Media Place, Anna's (aka Finnabair's) own craft store.
My little box may seem a bit more tropical than our summer really was. Although this summer was super hot (as long as Finnish summers go), we still didn’t have exotic sea shells on the beach. But we did spend more time than usually on a beach, trying to cool off. As during summer time we have the nightless night here in Finland, we usually went to the beach quite late, when majority of people were actually heading home and walked home late, perfectly cooled for the bed.
The idea behind this little box was to decorate it to hold summer memories. A little container for those treasures you pick up from travels or even notes or tickets. I used Liquid Acrylic to stain the wood of the box blue. I also used Liquid Acrylics to add some warmth to the composition. I used Impastos on the other hand to add the dimensional pattern to the lid using a stencil and then dry-brushed some pink to the shells. As Impastos are so thick, it’s really easy to use them for dry-brushing!
Thank you for stopping by today! Wishing you a lovely day!
