DT Scraps of Darkness - Mermaid Frame

Welcome!

Kerstin here and my third inspiration for our 

Scraps of Darkness May Kit 'Attic finds'

As I saw this beautiful woman on the 'Old Window' paper from the /gypsies

Architexture collection

I was inspired to use this photo for a new home decor piece.

Somehow I saw in the woman a mermaid

and so I used an old wooden frame

as basic for a FantaSEA :-)

gift.

Firstly I added some structure paste at  few places, then

I covered the entire surface with a chalky finish paint 'Vintage'

from Americana Decor.

Let dry it completely. 

I have added a lighthouse and rope stamp to complete a maritime look.

Then I cut out the wordlet - Enjoy today - from the Architexture paper 'Market signs'

 and glued it on the frame.

Next I layered up embellishments, have you seen this amazing keys in our kit, wonderful, or?

a leftover from a deco fish net, starfish, shell, gauze 

and the Prima flower from our Main Kit together with a little bit

 Ice Resin  'Ocean' from our last month kit.

in the upper corner you can see a mermaid die from my stuff

  head can be seen at the top

and the fish tail at the bottom

 I've glued a few self-collected shells to the photo

so she looks like a real mermaid.
