Home Decor - Shabby Chic Love Canvas

Shabby Chic Mixed Media Canvas

This home decor canvas was a collaboration for two amazing companies - Maja Design and Petaloo.  

I originally crafted it to be featured at the Petaloo table at Winter 2017 Creativation ( formerly known as CHA or Craft Hobby Association).  The sweet folks at Petaloo needed pieces to go on tables - not walls - thus I created to be either a tabletop piece or to hang on the wall.  I did decorate and finish the backside of the canvas so that if used as a tabletop home decor piece, then it was beautiful on both sides and could be picked up and held.

I thought this would be perfect on the table for a bridal shower or at as a table top piece for a wedding - because it is pretty from all sides.  

The original canvas is 5"x7" and 2 inches deep.  Once gussied with some gorgeous Petaloo flowers, my own lace trims from my stash and some floral berries, it is a bit bigger. 

Let me tell you a little about the flowers I added to decorate the piece.  I wanted to grab flowers that followed the gorgeous colors of the paper but wanted to pull more green from the paper.

To do this,  I used the following:

 Petaloo Darjeeling Hydrangeas  

 Petaloo Darjeeling Mini Rosettes  in Green  

In the close up above and below, you will also find the following flowers and a butterfly too:

Petaloo Darjeeling Butterflies - Teastained Cream 

Petaloo Darjeeling Mini Rosettes Green 

Petaloo Penny Lane - Forget Me Nots - Antique Red 

Petaloo PennyLane Mixed Blossoms - Antique Red 

Petaloo Penny Lane - Forget Me Nots - White

I used paper from two different Maja Design Collections : Enjoying Outdoors and Summertime.  Many of the collections can be mixed and matched which is what I chose to do. 

Here are some additional additional photos of different angles.  Because this piece has dimension and is made to be looked from all angles, more photos seem necessary for the full effect. 

You can find this piece listed in my ETSY shop right here - along with other pieces I have made that can be found here.  Grab it before it's gone.  

And as always - thanks so much for stopping here .  I appreciate your time,  I know you have many things to do with your time so the very thought that you stopped here is very much appreciated.

Lemoncraft Card - Neverending Summer

Lemoncraft Week - Card Number 2

It's Lemoncraft week and  I'm showcasing Lemoncraft products all week on my blog. 

 I'm here today to share another card I made for April's Lemoncraft blog.  You can see the original blog post right here.  You can also find so many more gorgeous Lemoncraft products on the Lemoncraft blog here.  

This card was made using the 12x12 Basic paper pad from the 'House of Roses' collection. The Basic paper pads are versatile and packed with easy to use patterns. 

The sheet I used had soft script on it.    I gussied it up by using an embossing folder with dots.  I dabbed ink pads on it  ( Distress ink in Picked raspberry and Walnut Stain) and misted with water to activate the Distress inks.  Then I ran through my Spellbinders Platinum die cutting/embossing machine. 

OK hold it..what did I do?  

Step 1.  I grabbed an embossing folder with dots on it.  This was from Darice - called Dots. 

Step 2.  I blotted the Distress inks onto the dots on the folder.  I blotted the Picked Raspberry and the Walnut Stain Distress ink.

Step 3  I misted the folder lightly with water.  very lightly.  

Step 4  Ran through the die cut machine.  

See how pretty the distressed dots are on the card?  

I embellished with a label from Lemoncraft's Vintage Labels 2 .  I added the butterfly, that was also cut from the same Vintage Label sheet.   

The paper flowers are from Prima's Tales of You & Me collection.  

Thank you for stopping by!

Lemoncraft Week

It's Lemoncraft week and I'll be showcasing Lemoncraft products all week on my blog. 

 I'm here today to share a card I made for April's Lemoncraft blog.  You can see the original blog post right here.  You can also find so many more gorgeous Lemoncraft products on the Lemoncraft blog here.  

This card was made using the gorgeous 6x6 paper pad from the 'House of Roses' collection.  This collection is soft and romantic and perfect for so many occasions from weddings to birthdays.  It's often hard to find a collection that can be used for weddings ( at least for me).  I have a certain look I want to create for that very special day.  This is a collection I can cherish for such an important event.

I embellished with a label from Lemoncraft's Vintage Labels 1 sheet still available in the Flying Unicorn store.   I added the butterfly, that was also cut from the same Vintage Label sheet.   

The paper flowers are from Prima. 

The doily in the background is from Prima - the Parisian Lace die.  It's my favorite die I think.  For now...but so versatile and subtle.  You can find it right here . 

Thank you for stopping by! 

More Lemoncraft coming this week.
