Inspired by our workshop with Tim Holtz in 2016, 'Distress a Little Different', we decided to create a framed panel project that our ladies could make on our Ilfracombe Craft Retreat.
We painted the wooden panel with Tim Holtz Distress Paint and then added some highlights of colour using Distress Crayons. To add some flecks of gold we used Ranger foil sheets with a Ranger prick stick adhesive.
Moving onto the background of the collage, we first layered pieces of ephemera (a mixture of Tim Holtz ephemera and nautical themed ephemera we found ourselves) and then added some colour using Distress Crayons. We also included some texture by adding some stencilling with Ranger texture paste.
Moving onto the foreground of the collage we added a framed box with a photo of an old vintage Ilfracombe postcard. The framed box was inspired by the mini boxes from the Tim Holtz Configuration boxes. This was then painted with Distress paint with some added detailing using Distress Crayons.
Underneath the box we added some scrabble letter embellishments that we had painted to add some extra colour. Extra embellishments included a vial bottle with a rolled up vintage image in, some die cut seaweed embellishments and die cut seagulls.
All in all a beautiful piece of home decor that our guests can hang up in their homes and remind them of the Ilfracombe Craft Retreat.
