HOME SWEET HOME

Hola!

¿Que mejor cosa que uno llegar a su casita todos los días a disfrutar del amor y del ambiente que nos hace sentir felices? Con eso en mente es que durante mis vacaciones me dediqué a preparar este cuadrito que hice para adornar mi casa y darme a mi misma la bienvenida todos los días. Hace tiempo estaba por hacerlo y resulto ser de las pocas veces que algo me queda tal y como lo visualicé.

Para hacer el cuadrito use un canvas 5 X 7 el cual pinte con pintura acrílica de Memory Makers en Sky y Celery y la calle la hice pintando una línea con tinta Craft negra de SU! Todas las demás imágenes fueron estampadas y recortadas en dos tonos para darle las tonalidades a las puertas y ventanas y recortadas para darles dimensión. El marco es uno de fotos que compre en Costco al cual le di una primera capa de Gesso y luego pinte de manera tal que le diera continuidad al canvas. Le añadí toques con pintura de color “Expresso” en los bordes y el interior del marco para que tuviera más profundidad. La cinta y el lazo se los pegue con mi pistola de calor. Las letras las corté con la Cricut y un font que ahora no recuerdo, pero cualquier letra ancha haría el mismo efecto. Luego de cortadas las decoré con lentejuelas, yute y rhinestones.

Si tienen alguna pregunta sobre el proyecto, me escriben a mi e-mail que con gusto les contesto. Que tengas unas buenas tardes y un feliz domingo mañana.

Hi,

Is there a better feeling than arriving each evening at your home to be with your family and enjoy the things that really makes you happy? With that in mind is that I created this home decor during my vacations last month. I am very pleased with the results since this is one of those times where the final results are just as I imagined them.

For this project I used a 5 X 7 canvas and a picture frame I bought at Costco a while ago. I painted them with Memory Makers acrylic paint in sky, celery and espresso. I loved playing with gesso and acrylics paints and see a lot of projects using these materials in the near future. I stamped each house in two tones (brown for the windows and doors) and then paper pieced them and mounted in the canvas with mounting tape to give them more dimension. The letters where cut with my Cricut and SCAL and decorated with sequins, rhinestones and hemp.

Thanks for your visit and if you have any question please send me an e-mail and I will be very happy to answer you.

Have a great evening and a happy Sunday tomorrow.

HELLO CHRISTMAS!!!

Hi,

it’s been a long time since my last post. I have been working a lot, but most of all spending time with my DH. That doesn't mean I have not been working a few things I will be sharing with you over the next days. Anyway, as you know Christmas is my favorite time of the year, so for me that's enough motivation to start blogging again.

Today I want to post a wall hanging I made yesterday. This year I decided that the new Christmas decorations will be handmade by me. After all we all have endless supply of materials to decorate a shopping mall hehehe!! Anyway, the nativity is mounted on a 4X6 canvas which I painted and decorated to simulate a night scene. It's my first attempt at making a night scene so please, be kind LOL! I used the Nativity 1 digital cut set from My Scrapchick. I thought it was going to be difficult to mount all the little pieces but it was quite easy. I plan to make a few more to give to family and friends. It will make a great Christmas card...don't you think?

See you tomorrow when I will post a 3x3 card set I made last week.

Have a Great Day,
Joan
