Gina's Designs Memory Tray

Welcome!!! Welcome!!! Welcome!!!

Today I am sharing a super fun and amazing project I recently created.

I use to be a beach bum and was at the beach daily! Well where I live the beach is 3 hours away!!!

So I have sworn to bring the beach to my home. Yes so far my fireplace mantle and one bathroom has been beached out! So now for the powder room. I decided to create this specifically to decorate my powder room so people have something to gaze at besides a sink.

The memory tray got a couple coats of a cream colored acrylic paint and the chipboard pieces got a coat of gesso.

After the gesso on the chipboard dried I added some glass bead gel and color by spray or chalk ink.

Yes there must always be rules even if they are just for having fun!

Items Used:

Memory Tray

Sea Horse Shapes

Beach Shape Set

Gesso

Glass bead Gel

Tattered Angel Sprays

Lindys Stamp Gang Spray

Prima Chalk Inks

Distress Ink

Glitter and Flocking Powder (I didn't have any sand)

Wall Art Key

Hey everyone.

First off I hope you all had a GREAT GOOD FRIDAY!

Second I hope you all have a safe Easter!

Today I am here to share with you a wall art piece. I had so much fun playing with the key. At first I was like hmmmm what to do. Then I thought to make is an inspirational piece.

"The key is to treasure the voyage."

First I painted everything black. Then I decided to paint the balloon along the lines of teal and vintage metals.

(Sorry the picture did not want to light up lol).

I then altered the gears by doing a layer of gesso, layers of Twinkling H20's and then adding some Glass Bead Gel, completing the gears some some Tattered Angels Paints.

The base of the key got a layer or Croco Paint giving it that old metal rusting off look. Then I finished off the key with from metal flowers and some chit chat pieces.

Items Used:

Key Wall Art - Balloon

Cardstock Doily Set - Steampunk

Gears Shape Set

Tim Holtz Chit Chat

Ranger Acrylic Paint

Viva Decor - Croco Paint

Twinkling H20's

Creative Inspiration Paints

Prima Metal Embellishments

Glass Bead Gel
