Step 1- Apply Black Gesso to wood piece very thick. To accomplish this, I dabbed it on rather than using paint strokes.
Step 2- Apply 3 colors of Perfect Pearls to wet Gesso.
Step 3- Use heat tool to dry entire piece. The Gesso will bubble and you want that to happen.
Step 4- Add coins to front of project. Adhere to project using Glossy Accents. While Glossy accents is still wet, add pearls into mix.
Step 5- Apply Black Gesso onto craft sheet and stamp Ship image into it. Then stamp onto white cardstock.
Step 6- Color in image using perfect pearls and perfect medium pens.
Step 7- Apply Glossy Accents to sails. Let dry. Once dry, cut out image.
Step 8- Emboss grungeboard key with iron colored or patina colored embossing powder
Step 9- Paint skull and crossbones grungeboard with Range paint daubers. I used Silver, Black and White. Then add small dusting of Perfect Pearls before dry.
Step 10- Start adding pieces to wood project using Glossy Accents. I used Glossy Accents for everything, because I wanted to have a wet look on parts of the design.
Step 11- Stamp compass and chains from Homeward Bound Stamp set. Emboss and cut out. Apply all pieces to wood surface using Glossy Accents.
I used a lot of components from the Gauche Alchemy Color Kits. I also used a Tim Holtz Fragment for on top of the compass.
