As i have had a couple of days off i have managed to do quiet a bit of crafting and blogging this was my latest attempt at home decor. The age old problem of finding keys is no stranger to my house so when i sore this mdf key holder blank on an auction site for under a fiver i thought i would give it a go however i had no idea what to do with it so again it sat on my to do list for a bit. Then inspiration hit ok well we played search for the keys again so i decided i should get going lol. I painted a layer of white pebo acrylic paint then a layer of blue then another layer of white sanding slightly in between each layer to insure a smooth stamping surface. I then stamped second generation with a small flock of birds randomly on the background. Then i stamped the compass and lighthouse in black and used a black and blue on the single bird stamp at the same time varying the colours each time i re inked. Then i painted the birds and the lighthouse scene using the distress inks and blotting the image after with some kitchen roll. Then i finished off around the edges of the key holder using a distresses tool and using the ink colours from the main images. There was still something missing so i added the anchor at the bottom of the lighthouse scene and finished it off by adding some blue ribbon to hang it up with. Ta dah no more lost keys well maybe for a few days anyway lol happy crafting xx
