You're bound to pick up a lot of nifty tips and techniques in the ff days, so do sit back and enjoy our feature of Design Inspirations for Tradewinds stack pad!
Hello crafty ladies; I hope everybody is having a happy scrappy time...
The DCWV Tradewinds papers are sooo beautiful ladies; you must go and check it out! The papers are so versatile and an absolute pleasure to work with; there is so much one can do with this paper stack - I had an absolute ball making this mini canvas!
I created this canvas showcasing my husband and I - I will gift it to him on our anniversary. Heart shapes are symbolic of love isn't that so ladies so yay I used them all over my canvas! Oh and a touch of red too!
This is a very simple project ladies anyone can do it!
I painted the canvas with burnt umber acrylic paint; cut a doily in half and glued it onto the canvas. Next I measured and cut a chosen patterned paper from the stack; then I tore it roughly and with double sided tape, fixed it onto the canvas and doily.
The heart shaped chipboard is part of a mini book so I used only 1 and covered it with paper, inked the edges with brushed corduroy and adhered it onto the canvas with my glue gun. I cut our photo in a heart shape, matted it onto red heart shaped card stock before mounting it onto the heart shaped chipboard.
The heart shapes found on the canvas represents our love for each other and I chose the paper with the key images to represent our blessed time together; I also complimented the key images on the paper by adding the key sticker on top of the paper doily. The heart at the right hand corner I shaped with crafting wire and masking tape.
There are two different glittery swirl types under the flowers. The flowers compliment the browns and creams in the paper perfectly and I carried this forward by choosing a Tim Holtz alphabet for my sentiment and the date of our anniversary. I added a splash of colour by using red in the ribbon outlining my photo.
