Beach Themed Canvas

Today I would like to share my canvas. I have decided to give our guest room and bathroom a face lift. It will be a Shabby Chic beachy  feel. My tray and this canvas will be used on the bedroom walls.

I used small canvases. I chose seaside stencils from Tattered Angels. I just love the new Prima sprays (Golden Foil, Torn Leather, and Summer Sky)





The paper is from Pion Shoreline Collection. Featured on these canvases are Edwin Catching a Fish and Bikini Tilda. I chose Magnolia Doo Hickey Swirly Butterfly, La La Land Corner Die and Cherry Lynn Flourish die. To complete my design I used flowers, bling, Prima Resin embellishment, sea shells, metal embellishments, floss, tulle, ribbon and a string of pearls.

On the side of the canvas I used the DP to give the canvas some to carry out the design to the edges. I chose to keep the Canvas design simple so that you could see the background stencils.

Summer Fun


Happy Thursday,

I would like to share my tray with you today. Kelly and I live far from each other but decided to do a project together. She will post hers separately. We had a lot of fun purchasing the items for our trays. I have to admit I stole her picture frame idea (yes I did ask her permission - LOL). 

I just love the ocean so this tray was way too much fun. And the Pion paper is delightful. I am in a paper piecing  phase so all the clothing on Edwin and Tilda have been paper pieced. I added frantage to give the effect of water spraying. I added cheese cloth, lace trim, gold trim and the tulle bows to give my tray texture but also to create that beachie feel. I bought the tray at Hobby Lobby 1/2 off so it was a great deal. I hope I have inspired you to create something today!


The items I used :
Toule
Ribbon 
Cheese Cloth
Trim
Prima Embellishments - Corner, Sea Shells, Picture Frames
Magnolia Doo Hickey Die - Swirly Butterfly
Memory Box Die -Hibiscus 
Pearl Bling
Real seashells
Glass jar with beach sand
Misc Embellishments
Magnolia Stamps - Sea Shell Tilda, Edwin Catching a Fish, Bikini Tilda, Ocean Map, Vintage Swedish Coast Cottage, MiaMia the Flamingo, Tilda in Key Largo, Edwin in Miami
The paper is from the Pion collection Shoreline Collection
Tea Dye Distress Ink
Copic Markers
