Gift idea - I'm 'Out of Order' - by Kerstin

Welcome friends!

 It's summertime! Time for vacations and wanderlust!
The yearning for a cool place for a little peace and relaxation is stronger than ever. 
 Not everyone can go to the sea and many of us make holidays in their gardens or on balconies. But when you spend your holidays at home, 
you don't always have the peace you want.  
People always want something - no problem if it's friends, 
but sometimes I'm simply OUT OF ORDER - especially when the last bits of patience have gone. 

That was my idea behind this project. It's a gift and you can use it as door hanger

 or as a mood barometer, so others know if it is safe to disturb ;-).

 some steps images that show how I did it

My base was the Fleur de Lis MDF door hanger 6

and suitable for my idea 

some beautiful things that make you think of sun, summer, beach and sea:

Beach Chairs and Umbrella  Size M

Brush Script MDF Wood Font - Create A Word - OUT/ ORDER 20mm

MDF Letters & Numbers - Art Nouveau Font O/ F 20mm

 Mini MDF Nautical motifs 3

 

 more details

 I used a white crackle paste from Decoart for all the letters and words. I generously applied it with a palette knife to make the surface look like a foaming sea.

Some acrylic paints for the umbrella and a little bit texture with white paste for the chairs 

a color mix for sand toys and for a realistic feeling 
beach sand, deco sand and shells

Thanks for your visit!
Happy crafting!
