Down by the Sea and Pentart Crackle with Rhonda


Gift Idea: Artists Tray with Rhonda

BoBunny Sunday Funday Down By The Sea and Pentart Crackling Paint Altered Tray designed by Rhonda Van Ginkel

Greetings and welcome to Sunday Funday on the blog! I have a project featuring the Down By The Sea collection and the Pentart Cracking Paint System. We recently took a vacation to Florida and spent a bit of time at the ocean. This collection was perfect for my photos!

I found this artist tray at my local craft store on clearance and thought it would be perfect to showcase this collection and my photos. This is also such a perfect gift for Mother's Day or Father's Day. I prepared the tray by painting my Cracking Paint System 1, let dry and then applied the Cracking Paint System 2 in White on top and set aside to dry and crack.

While the tray was drying, I measured the compartments and started trimming a variety of the papers, then I selected the photos that I wanted to print. I started with a 4x6 that I could cut in half for the focal center of the tray, then I printed smaller 2x3 photos to use in the opposite corners.

I cut several pretty die cut elements out from our new dies, used them in a few of the compartments. I also used bits from the fabulous Noteworthy package and of course, embellished with some Chipboard, Layered Chipboard and Double Dot Jewels.

Once I had the tray completed, I decided to accent the plain white crackle, so I mixed some Glimmer Spray in Frost and Mint to make a pretty aqua color to coordinate with the collection. I lightly brushed it on with a medium flat paintbrush.

I love how the Pentart Cracking Paint is so versatile and it took the color of the Glimmer Spray so nicely, I could control the depth of color easily.
