I have made a pretty little trinket dish to show you. I used one of my favourite Christmas presents from a wonderful crafty friend for the pretty pearly colours. Thank you Pam!
To make the dish I used the top part of a paper cup and made a base from thick card for it. I simply trimmed the cup down, drew around it on thick card, cut the circle out and attached it with soft matt gel to the cup.
I covered the sides, both in and outside, with texture paste using a palette knife to give a rough surface.
I made some resin flowers and painted them with Gansai Tambi pearl colours too. This time I used Lemon Yellow, Scarlet Red and Cobalt Blue. I attached the flowers with soft matt gel.
