A super quick shabby design for today’s post! We’re still working hard on the kitchen here and I just can’t wait until some of my new cupboards arrive today! I’m pretty much bouncing! I’m thrilled with the paint color we tried out on one little wall and really love the tile. I can’t wait to see my cupboards in person. Believe it or not, I just can’t wait to bake again!
Shabby Painted Birthday
For this design…well…just a tiny bit of stamping on it. When I created this card I wanted to use this beautiful Making Memories letters that I’ve had for ages and yes….I’ve been hoarding them. I just love the flourish on them and thought they’d pair up beautifully with this Basic Grey paper. This paper was too pretty to cover up so I adhere the letters to a transparency to give them definition without covering up much of the design. To make them pop a little, a little white acrylic paint on the reverse goes a long way to adding interest. The Happy Birthday sentiment was then stamped on in Black Stazon and then I stitched the transparency to the design. Be careful when stitching transparencies…they have a tendency to slip and slide a little. Just stitch slowly and hold your layers and it should be fine. A white Prima finishes it off and adds a fresh spring look.
I hope you have beautiful Spring weather this weekend and enjoy a simply wonderful day!
