Hello Summer Plaque

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today showing you how to create a Summer plaque.

Draw a pattern on a piece of plywood.  I wanted a large summer shell.  Use the Scroll Saw to cut out  the design.  

Use the Disc Sander to sand the edges of the panel.   Then use the Delta Sander to sand any remaining edges.

Paint the panel with Plaid paint.   Allow to dry then randomly dry brush on some white paint.  Decorate with inked mesh.  While waiting for the glue to dry, add assorted shells created from Makin's Clay.   Ink the shells in assorted colors.  You could even add some real shells if  you had some available.

Stamp a script stamp with black ink randomly about the edges of the panel.  

Die cut palm trees and Hello Summer from Rinea Foiled Papers and adhere to the panel.

Finish by adding a stamped, colored and fussy cut Prima doll to the panel.

Thanks for stopping by.
