So glad you stopped by my blog, I hope I leave you with some positive inspiration!
My friend gave me a small burlap canvas and after coveting it for a while I finally figured out what I wanted to use it for. Something vintage and meaningful for me. Love.
This was a very easy to make canvas, I had saved the chalkboard label of some flower packaging and used it for the background. Then I distressed the image and added my grandmother-in-laws old lace to it. Some metal flowers and a smudging of white paint and done!
I also want to bring your attention to a wooden key, it is chunky and a small part of the most amazing chipboard I have been working with this month. There will be more chipboard coming soon to show you as I am part of Southern Ridge Trading Company design team. They just put together a blog here to start our showing you all the things you can do with Karen's chipboard that she creates herself. The fun part is we can ask her or give her ideas of what we want and she makes it! So stay tuned for next week as the blog begins!
I wanted to show you this gorgeous lace that is 100 years old. It has been salvaged by my mother in law and so I use it sparingly on items to keep.
Look Familiar! Wow what a winter we are having in MN, it is one for the record books.
High winds to blow the snow and shut off our driveway and road.
It is very beautiful but crispy cold in the negatives way too much!!
Where is spring!!!
Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you have a very nice weekend coming up!!
Hugs Kelly

What a beautiful vintage piece, Kelly - the image is glorious, and I love that you used the packaging behind it. Lovely - and so worth the addition of your precious lace. Excited by your news and to see more chipboard (am developing a bit of an addiction)... And envious of your snow too, though I can understand it makes life hard!!

Oh Kelly, your piece of lace is just exquisite and your burlap panel is so very beautiful, it does not look like it was easy at all, your design is just perfect.
ReplyDeleteLooks like we are both starting off on new adventures - many congratulations to you, they must be thrilled to have such a talented lady on their DT!
Like Alison I am a little envious of the snow.... it looks beautiful but can imagine it is a lot of hard work keeping it clear of paths and roads. Keep warm and safe. Hugs, Anne xx
Oh Wow! this is so beautiful Kelly… what an awesome image and sentiment! I love the gorgeous textures and the pretty flowers and lace… Wow! how wonderful that it is 100 years old… just perfect for this vintage canvas!
