One of my best friends and business partner has been with her beau since she was 13 years old. Recently, I discovered this vintage photo of them when she was 14 amd not long after ran off got married and started having kids and still together this day, 55 years later. What a love story.
Since her birthday was coming up I wanted to create something to put up in their home, then a box of amazing goodies from Little Birdie Crafts showed up at my doorstep and I had the perfect idea! A mixed media canvas using stencils and modeling paste, laser cut chipboard pieces, flowers and color sprays.
I started with a base of vintage patterns adhering it with decoupage. Trimming the excess.
Add the chipboard piece on one side. Use your stencil and modeling paste to create texture on the other side.
Cover the entire surface with random squirts of color. Let dry. Pat any pool of liquid on the surface with a paper towel if needed.
Add the white flower cluster to the right, spray with color and pat with paper towel or use small paint brush and paint the flowers with the color spray. Squirt the color in the center to give dimension.
Add the naked chipboarf frame, first wrapping the bottom third in the twine. Place foam squares underneath to give dimension and allow for room for the twine and picture. Add a punched sentiment like "love."
The final touch is adding twine to the back for hanging. Use something to wrap the twine to ensure it's an even hang.
Thank you for stopping by, hope to see your creations!!
