Come Sail Away, Come Sail Away with Me . . .

Come sail away, come sail away with me . . . dodododooodo . . . Tracy here, I`m singing away over the cutest little boat stamp ever!

Today I have a little project to share using up scraps of wood and old book pages.

I gathered up a few supplies to get started.

A quick coat of Faber Castell Gel Medium over the wood, followed by torn up old book pages . . . I love using old book pages in my projects for a little more added texture.

A quick coat of Acrylic white paint followed by the

Sail Away stamp by Susan K Weckesser/ Unity Stamp co. with a  Jet Black Archival Ink pad.

Then the fun began and eeek I got so carried away I forgot to take any more pics, sorry!

But it`s easy peasy to re create I promise... I started by coloring the waves/sailboat with 

Winsor and Newton water colour paints, the background was created with the blending of

Tim Holtz Distress Paints/Stains with my hands . . . happy, messy, paint, splattered hands.

A little later with very messy hands along with a few scribbles {with a fine black liner}, a little clear embossing powder, some little gem stones, the sentiment from the stamp set all chopped up and the boat stamped again to cut out the sails for a more 3d feel to them ... this is what I ended up with.

I just have to show you this close up, see the scribbles along parts of the stamp, I like to add this to make it more part of the picture and ooooh the sparkle is from the  embossing powder.

Soooo was I finished . . . not yet!

Well, I couldn't leave the back blank soooo out came an inkssentials manilla tag, more Distress paints/Stains,

Tim Holtz Idea-ology Remnant Rubs - words and a little rope for a nautical feel and yep I was done this time.

A little mixed media sailboat art that made me very happy getting all paint splattered!

Thank you so much for looking today

Till next time
