HOME!!!

Soo many things have been happening in my 

home in the last few months....

a new grandbaby

my boy graduating from high school

to name just a few!!

Now things are about to really change...

my daughter is moving out with her boy...

and my boy will be moving to Florida

to begin the next chapter of his life!

....but HOME is ALWAYS where the HEART IS!

I created a banner for my daughter

to adorn the entrance of her new apartment

and mark a new chapter in her life!

My ideas was to keep this banner very

monochromatic and shabby!

For the base of my banner I chose 2 each of the

 Canvas Corp ~ Canvas/Burlap Shapes ~ Triangle

and 2 each of the Canvas Corp ~ Canvas/Burlap Minis Shapes ~ Flag.

I wanted to create a background for my "Triangles" so I used various

Canvas Corp ~ Kraft on Black papers,

cut slightly larger than the Canvas/Burlap Triangles,

then I distressed the edges of the paper triangles.

I adhered the Canvas Corp ~ Canvas/Burlap Minis ~ Flag to the 

larger "banner" pieces.

From a piece of

Canvas Corp ~ White on Kraft French Home Sampler paper,

I cut out the banner shapes

spelling out the word HOME!

On each "banner" piece I used pieces of vintage lace 

and a Petaloo ~ Mixed Textured Mini Blossom ~ Ivory flower.

I even stamped on the Canvas Corp ~ Canvas Triangles using 

Wendy Vecchi/Rangers Archival Ink ~ Potting Soil.

I chose to accent the first and last "banner" pieces a bit differently 

with a folded Color Me Crazy Flower

that I spritzed with 

Tattered Angels ~ Glimmer Mist ~ Precious Metals.

I then added  a loopy bow made from

Canvas Corp ~ Cord ~ Black.

I attached all the "Banner" pieces to a entire piece of 

Canvas Corp ~ Fringe.

BTW.....my daughter already knows where she wants to hang

her "Banner" and it makes my heart happy!!

Canvas Corp Goodness!!!

Can I just say........I LOVE the Black and Kraft paper by Canvas Corp. As soon as I got my hot little hands on them I knew exactly
what I wanted to do.

Being from the North Country.....the flowers are all gone.....the leaves have fallen and it looks rather barren. Sooooo to help get through this time I wanted to create a
floral wreath to bring life into my home!

To create all this floral goodness.....I gathered up a sundry different Sizzix dies including
Tim's Tattered Floral die, some Distress Stains and Perfect Pearl Mists.

I diecut flowers from the amazing Black and Kraft papers.

I cut into the smallest flower to create little petals.

Using Distress Stains, I colored both sides of the diecut flowers.

I then crumpled the flowers.

I layered and adhered the flowers together.
Then spritzed them with Perfect Pearls Mist.

I also used a bit of burlap around the grapevine wreath and some fabby white cording.....
more Canvas Corp goodies!!!
Hope you've enjoyed this tutorial as much as I did creating it!!!
