INSTRUCTIONS
NOTES:
Let dry between painting steps.
- Following the Spellbinders machine instructions, emboss the foil paper with the seashell embossing template.
- Use a 3/4” flat brush to apply Calypso Blue over the foil seashell embellishment. Immediately wipe the excess paint from the embellishment, leaving paint in the recesses. Set aside to dry.
- Tear the outside edges of the turquoise and sand scrapbook paper strips, if desired.
- Unravel a few strands from each end of the burlap strip.
- Use the 3/4” flat brush to apply a coat of Americana Matte Decou-Page on the canvas.
- Position and press the turquoise paper at the top of the canvas and the sand paper at the bottom. Apply more Decou-Page over the papers.
- Position and press the burlap strip across the center of the canvas.
- Apply Decou-Page on the area for the quote. Position and press the quote onto the canvas. Apply more Decou-Page over the quote. (Refer to photo for placement.)
- Press several pieces of sea glass across the bottom of the canvas. (The Decou-Page should still be wet enough to hold the glass. If not, brush a small amount over the area and press the glass into place.)
- Tie a small piece of hemp cording through the eye of a metal charm sticker. Position the charm below the quote and press into place.
- Position and adhere the foil seashell embellishment with hot glue.
