Recently, I have been delving into the art of mixed media and jewelry making. Today, I want to show you a piece I made using some of Heartfelt Creations' Balmy Breeze collection.

First I die cut the anchor from foil attached to a piece of cardstock. I then used Distress Paints to give it a patina. I then die cut a piece of the patterned paper and coated both side with Mod Podge. This prevents the paper from taking on a translucent quality when pouring the resin. I then arranged my paper and shells, etc. in the bezel and poured my resin. As the resin was drying, I added my glitter so it would float on the top.

The piece is very dimensional because I allowed some of the shells and part of the anchor to break the surface of the resin. I also did not dome the resin for this particular piece. I haven't decided what I want to do with it yet. It may become either a bookmark charm or a keychain.

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to leave a comment in order to be eligible for the $25 Heartfelt Creations gift certificate. Once again, you have until midnight Friday, August 30, 2013.
