Saturday Savers - Inspired by a painting... Sylvie

Hi, 
A lovely home décor piece today made by Sylvie for our Saturday Savers.
Once again, something very different inspired by a painting. I truly love this one. It would make a perfect gift for any sea lover friend, or someone who is lucky enough to own a house by the sea. 
Hope you like it.

Sylvie was inspired by

The Birth of Venus by Botticelli 

 Sylvie recycled/upcycled

A fruit basket punnet

Shells (left over from dinner)

Tissue paper found in shoe boxes

Shells picked on the beach in Corsica

Old silver beaded necklace

Paint the shells with Pebeo Fantasy Moon paints and let them dry

Cut the Ranger Metal Foil to size (corresponding to the punnet), emboss them and colour them with alcohol inks

Stamp the seaside images on shrink plastic using Archival ink

Colour them with Promarkers (or Copic markers)

Cut them out leaving 1 mm border

Shrink them with your heat tool

Colour the tissue paper with Perfect Pearl mists and add the Tornado pattern (Andy Skinner mask) with Distress inks 

Put the tissue paper in the basket to hold the shells

Apply the Vintaj Patina on the metal pendant and add some Treasure Gold

Add a coat of Vintaj Patina on two Tando Creative compasses (although the Patina is meant to be used on Metal, it still worked on chipboard), then add some Distress ink for a marble effect and then some Treasure Gold

Stamp the Crafty Individuals lady with umbrella with black Archival ink, colour and cut it.

This will be held with a toothpick
