Princess of the Sea – Patricia Basson

Hello dear Blog Friends
Dusty Attic’s latest chipboard release futured the cutest Marine Mechanical sea creatures!Today I have used the Small Seahorse and dressed her all feminine and be-jeweledall ready for a night on the Town…or should I say a night on the Coral Reef….


I used a sheet of Blue Fern Studio paper, Juliann’s Dream from the Ombre Dreams collection to cover my Notebook. I primed the paper with a layer of clear Gesso and used a Stamperia Stencil, Steampunk, and crackle paste to add texture to the background and the edges of the book. 
The chipboards were primed with white Gesso. I then painted them all with Honey Mustard Paint from Deco Art. And then I just went ahead and played with several paints and waxes until I was satisfied with the look. I wanted a bit of a girly look for her, therefor I used Pinks and Purples and Yellows…She got a Crown on her head and a few Gemstones too add to her Party look…and Yes…I forgot to glue her little Diamond eye on, she does have it on now at least…


To color I used the following, Iris from Cadence, Crackling Campfire and Saltwater Taffy Distress Paints and Flickering Candle Mica Stain from Tim Holtz, Shabby Pink and Sweet Rose Waxes from Finnabair.
