I am craving flowers.
I am craving color.
I cannot be the only one?
Let's give Mother Nature a little wake- up call.
*if you appreciate texture,
you will LOVE working on these
new burlap canvases!
I printed a picture of the Eiffel Tower
and cut it out as a template...
then traced & cut out vintage paper Eiffel Tower
before adhering paper Eiffel Tower,
stamp harlequin pattern on burlap
using Rubbermoon's
' Ultimate Red Rubber Palette' ...this is SO MUCH FUN!!!
just put a lil' dab of thinned white paint onto palette,
then stamp to your heart's content!
*it doesn't have to be perfect,
the burlap lends gorgeous dimension.
use your favorite paper glue to adhere Eiffel Tower...
add light wash of spring colors
to harlequin diamonds...
start placing pretty posies and glue to burlap...
(but of course! why wouldn't you?)
add artsy sketchy details to Eiffel Tower
with charcoal pencil...
almost there.....
scribbled phrase and edge details,
ooooh, love that charcoal!!!
a bit of vintage' French French' tossed in
for balance
a pretty ribbon to hang on the wall
and ooh la la! Spring is in the air!!!!!
