Background:
Yellow from Sunflower Collection, Yellow from Summer Collection, Beige Dew Drops, Yellow from Winter Retreat Collection, Light Orange from Fall
Directions: Spray paint a wood serving tray with white spray paint and separate dew drops.
Apply The Best Glue Ever! to the tray. Spread with a paint brush for design area only (not the background yet) so you can see your design for placement of the Dew Drops. Let dry until it's completely clear, the glue will remain tacky for precise placement of Dew Drops.
When the tray is totally covered with Dew Drops and your design is finished, squeeze 3d Crystal Lacquer or Glossy Accents all over, concentrating on filling in between the Dew Drops. Let dry. Be careful not to go beyond where your Dew Drops are placed.
5. Apply Epoxy or Mod Podge over the top of your finished design at least 1/4 above the top of the Dew Drops to ensure that your tray surface is level.
You can do this mosaic technique on so many different projects!! Here are only a few ideas of canvasses: Printer's Trays, Configurations, Scrapbook Covers, tags, an actual Canvas, Shadow Boxes, Brag Books, Altered Boxes and more!
