First up today is Shanna to share a very cool and beachy project!
Welcome!!! Welcome!!! Welcome!!!
Shanna here sharing a super fun and amazing project I recently created.
I used to be a beach bum and was at the beach daily, but where I live now the beach is 3 hours away!!!
I have sworn to bring the beach to my home, and so far my fireplace mantle and one bathroom has been beached out! Now for the powder room. I decided to create this specifically to decorate my powder room so people have something to gaze at besides a sink.
The memory tray got a couple coats of a cream colored acrylic paint and the chipboard pieces got a coat of gesso.
After the gesso on the chipboard dried I added some glass bead gel and color by spray or chalk ink.
Yes there must always be rules even if they are just for having fun!
Items Used:
Next up is Marfa, with simple to create, but beautiful cards for Mother's Day.
Good morning, sweet face! I am so happy to finally be able to show you the two Mother's Day cards that I made this year! I usually make only two Mother's Day cards each year, so I try to make them very special. Let me tell you a little secret. Come here...closer...cccllloooosssseeerrrr... for the longest time this year I just couldn't get my card making mojo going. BUT I knew one thing for sure. I wanted to use the chippie roses that I got in my design team package from Gina's Designs. I really fell I love with these roses at first sight.
After a while of frustrating trial and error I realized that I was actually fighting the changes within my style. I just couldn't get excited about making something really complicated and busy because I have been changing towards clean and simple for a quite a while already. So I did something really simple. I painted the chipboard pieces with a gold paint pen, except for the butterflies. I used a red paint pen for those. Then I covered them with a glitter pen for a big, in your face glitterfying! I also covered the butterflies and the little heart with Crackle Accent. Why? I don't know, just because. One rub on sticker and one clear sticker finished everything. I used matte photo paper and a glittery mulberry paper to make the card itself. Its hard to glue things to mulberry paper, so I used hot glue and that worked very well. Scroll down for a short video and a list of supplies.
