Soothing salt water

Hallo,
I have a fun project to show you this afternoon. I did this plaque as one of my entries for this months Spotlight Guest Design Team for Gina K Designs.
I used the new set 'Gifts from the sea'. Part of the challenge this month was to take inspiration from a movie - well I chose "Titanic". I always admired the charecter of Molly Brown from that movie as a straight forward, independant woman - even from the Titanic version I saw first as a kid. This phrase sounds like something she would have said.
I first painted the plaque with blue acrylic paint and when it was dry I painted it with distress crackle paint.
The main image was colored with copics - I made the seashells a little paler so the phrase would show up nicely. Then I did a whole bunch of seashells in 'full color' and cut them out.
When the crackle was dry, I took modge podge and glued the main layer down and layered all the loose seashells over the top. Lastly I edged the plaque with the same blue as the main image panel.
All for now - my second project is drying as I type so will need to finish it up and be back shortly :).
Take Care
