And today only: for all orders including all-digital orders I’m including three of the adorable “Sea and Shore” Mini Collage Sheets! See more photos on this page… the scrapbook papers shown on that page are sold out but the collage sheets are way cute and perfect for a summer theme.
Design Team Member Betsy Skagen has made a big, beautiful mermaid scene on the new Standing Dome, mixed with papers from the Beneath the Sea Kit and a Treasure Chest (which is also in the current Giveaway… details below).
Only the Mermaid knows what timeless treasures and crusty old bones hide deep beneath the Sea. Nuggets of gold, silver platters, ancient relics… the fierce Mermaid and her scaly steed guard this watery tomb.
To begin this project, I assembled the 3D Treasure Chest, and scored it with lines 1/4″ apart.
Next I made decorative elements using Creative Paper Clay and silicone molds. I also used the clay and molds to make many of the treasures.
Then I painted the entire thing chest with Salty Ocean Distress Paints and gray, white and burnt umber acrylic paints.
I attached Voyage Beneath the Sea Scrapbook Paper to the Standing Dome and let the fun begin.
The rest of the project involved using acrylic paint on the chipboard coral and the decorative elements. I also made sure to give the old artifacts and bones a crusty ocean bottom look.
This project also involved lots and lots of fussy cutting, which is the next best thing to meditation.
Who knew?… Since I don’t fish, don’t own fish and don’t necessarily even like eating fish, I never would have imagined this, but I keep find more and more uses for the Fish Tales Collage Sheet.
See all the goodies in the Under the Sea Treasure Dome Supply List. Visit Betsy’s blog for more photos and details.

And comment TODAY or TOMORROW (the deadline is 11:59 pm PST, Saturday, July 2, 2016)! And tell me: What treasures will you hide inside your Treasure Chest?
