YES IT'S REVEAL DAY!!

A DAY AT THE BEACH
Altered Can - Off the Page Project

and

"A Joy to Remember"
September Kit of the Month


This was one of my favorite altered pieces to work with yet!  SO FUN!!  I decided to go with a beach them because I have so many photo's of my son playing at the beach. I started by misting "Tattered Angels" glimmer mist inside and outside of the can.  I misted cotton fabric that came with the kit.  I tore many pieces to give the fabric a worn appearance.   Many colors can be purchased at the online store.  I then glued the photos to the can and extended the image by painting the colors of the ocean and clouds.  When that was dry I added and added and added sand, shells, gems, starfish, mesh, netting, flowers and more!  The fabric pieces were added around the can (creating ocean waves).  Fabric, rope, eyelash trim was added around the handle of the can.  I tried to take as many photo's as possible to give you a better idea on what was created here.

Don't forget to stop on by the Flying Unicorn online store and get your kit today.  There is (not just one) but 3 cans in the kit!!!!
Thank you for looking!
