Now for the scrapping I have had to keep quiet till now. For my very good friend's birthday, I've made a canvas of each of her 3 children. It was the first time I've done canvases and I'm hooked.
I've always loved the Let's get Shabby challenge blog but it's been a long time since I've joined in. The colours from the inspiration photo and the fact that my friend had mentioned she loved spring when the kids could walk around bare feet again gave me the inspiration I needed for this canvas.
I first glimmer misted and stamped the background then using a range of papers and rub ons added the elements around the photos. Not to forget the pink doily strip that set the perfect background for the little photos.
I loved the greens and pinks from the photo and have used them as my main colours. I stamped the shipping tag with the beautiful butterfly background stamp from Kaiser craft. Butterflies are what I think of when I think of spring and I also love adding them to girl LOs.
My little of cluster of flowers with some pearls. I love the extra touch pearls and rhinestones give to a LO.
My friend absolutely loved her gift(s) and I'm really pleased to give her a homemade gift she can treasure for a long time. I will post the other 2 a bit later today when I have a bit more time.
