Bathing Beauties

This is one of this months projects that I've made for GECKO GALZ. I've used the Bathing Beauties Ephemera Collection.
I started of with a wooden frame and painted it with Peony and Clam shell Eco Green acrylic paint using the distressed technique. I painted the inside of the frame with lake and the top of the frame with blueberry acrylic paint. I then went over the frame with weathered wood Distress ink to make it look a bit more shabbier.
Then using the images that I'd cut out, some string and net material I attached them so that the material overlapped the images and string. Then I attached some shells, starfish and a seahorse and anchor charm. The words are cut from the ephemera sheet and have been coloured with Distress ink and embossed all over. I stamped the seagull, cut it out and attached it to the top of the frame. Not sure who made the stamp.
