The Robin's Nest Design Team Call 2017

Hello Everybody!

 

Welcome to INSPIRE.

 

 

We still have a couple of months left in 2016, but over at The Robin's Nest, it is Design Team Call time, in prep for the upcoming year.

 

 

I have so enjoyed my time being part of this company's amazing design team, and being among many great & talented designers.

 

 

Today, I wanted to share with all of you, my project for the 2017 DT Call.

 

 

 

I have had this bottle in my stash for quite some time, and thought it would be a perfect base for a mermaid/message in the bottle theme.

 

First, the supply list.

6x6 Handwritten Design Paper

I used teal ink spray on the inside of the bottle,

to give the appearance of water.

Once dry, I curled a handwritten design 6x6 paper, and added it inside of the bottle.

 

I sprayed strips of cheesecloth, with brown & green ink spray, drying it with heat tool.

I used texture sand in white gesso, and applied it randomly all over the bottle.

 

Once dried, I very lightly sprayed with teal & green ink spray, followed by lightly using glitter glue, to give each sandy area more definition.

 

 

From this point, I attached the stained cheesecloth, around the bottle, glued various sizes of seashells all over the bottle, and added sea themed embellishments.

 

I used my electric die cut machine, to cut a mermaid silhouette, and lilies, from The Robin's Nest cardstock, added pearl stamens to the lilies, and used glitter glue on the mermaid & lilies.

 

 

 

 

 

Final touches came by randomly gluing dew drops, to resemble bubbles, and using the tear dew drops in the mini vial, as mermaid tears.

 

 

 

I hope you enjoyed this project and tutorial, by far, one of my favorite projects as of late.
