Directions:
Cut board piece 4 X 8, using whatever part of lettering you want to show through.
Paint 2 coats, letting first coat dry, of Lumiere paint.
Using fingernail, squiggle lines in the paint resembling waves.
Tear off a piece of map to cover 1/2 of board and attach with glue or double sided tape.
Stamp travel image on vellum and tear edges, then layer over map, letting a little of the map show through on one side, and letting the vellum overlap the board on the other, using double sided tape.
Tear two strips of vellum, on thinner than the other and ink the edges with blue ink. Attach the widest strip with double sided tape on ONE END ONLY.
Cut four or five strips of fiber and place a couple under the widest piece of vellum, then finish attaching the wide vellum with double sided tape.
Arrange the rest of the fibers over the wide piece of vellum so that it resembles plankton and attach with double sided tape, then lay the narrower piece of vellum over these to hide the ends. This will give you a nice layered look.
Use small dabs of glue to arrange the fibers in a pleasing pattern on the board.
Roll out fimo and press indentations of the assorted shell stamps as well as the 'Far And Away' saying from Art By Moonlight Rubber Stamps, then bake as directed. Once hardened and cooled, rub with antiquing gel to highlight the lines. Arrange these and the sea theme charms in a pleasing pattern and attach with small dabs of glue. I added a tassel of fiber to a shell charm that had a hole in it already.
*Run a medium thick bead of liquid appliqué along bottom of board to resemble sand, adding some mini silver beads here and there for a sandy look. Let dry and heat with heat gun to puff it up.
Attach piece of rope along top with glue, then glue the hanger after all is dry.
