Home Decor SU Style Blog Hop April 2019

Welcome to my blog - you may have come from Renee Ondrajka's amazing blog.

It has been a while since I have taken part in one of these home décor style blog hops. But I am hoping to get back into it now.

One day I went through Spotlight (craft store) I saw they had big packs of canvasses on special, so I picked up 40 canvasses for $50AUD, what I bargain.

But then I had to think of something to do with them. Well, the kids had already spotted them and painted 10 of them, so better be quick :-)

I decided to do something with the hot air balloons from the Lift me up stamp set and Up and Away dies. They are beautiful and would be perfect decorations for a kid’s room, so off I went.
 

First, I sprayed the canvas with water ensuring it was completely wet. Then I used the aqua painter to water colour Balmy Blue ink on.

When the ink had dried, I used the negative image of a cloud die cut out and filled the void with Shimmery White Embossing Paste and added a few clouds to the canvas.
 

I stamped the two balloon images in Melon Mambo on Whisper White cardstock and cut them out with the matching dies.

I then stamped a greeting from an old retired stamp set in Melon Mambo on Whisper White cardstock and cut it out with the medium balloon die. I cut another medium balloon out of Melon Mambo cardstock and one of the large detailed balloons out of Whisper White.
 

I attached the cut balloons around the canvas, some using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and some using Stampin’ Dimensionals to add a bit of dimension.

 

I think it turned into a cute little décor item, which would be perfect for any little girl’s room :-)

If you like the balloons – stamps and dies – you better get in quick. These will retire with the current catalogue on 3 June 2019, but may sell out before, so make sure to order them as soon as possible :-)
