Hi there Peachy Fans, Tanya from
Nonna's Craft Corner here with you today! While it's getting warmer and more like Spring everyday in my neck of the woods, I know that many of you are still dealing with cold temps and lots of snow. So, I thought I would send you wishes of sunshine and springtime with my little home decor project....
How's that for a touch of Springtime?
Let me tell you how I put this together:
* I started with a small shadowbox (this one measures 6.5 by almost 7 inches).
* Next, I cut cut cardboard pieces to fit each opening (I used the back piece of my paper stacks). Using the same measurements, I cut my patterned paper for each opening. I inked up the edges of all the pieces and glue the patterned paper to the cardboard. Then I machine stitched around all the edges of each section.
(The layer of cardboard makes each section a bit sturdier than cardstock alone)
Now comes the fun part....time to decorate!
* This was the first time I have used these dies and I have to say, it was super simple, easy to put together and I love the way this little cutie turned out....
* I inked up the edges of my little duck with a bit of orange ink and colored her bill with a Copic marker. I added a few paper-punched daisies to the brim of her hat and gave her a pink twine bow.
* The banner, sign and grass are all cut from files purchased from the Silhouette Online Store.
And...there you go...a touch of SPRING!
Thanks so much for stopping by today...see you soon!
