Hello crafty friends! The October Challenge at Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenge Blog is on, and it's anything goes!! Hope you join us this month!
Yes, I know fall is here and beach season is over, but my bathroom has a beach theme and I made this to hang on the door.
I've never wanted to keep my bathroom doors closed, but I have a houseful of cats who have decided that unrolling the TP and tearing it to shreds is just SOOOO much fun that I have to resort to this.
I used a chipboard piece from Gypsy Soul Lasercuts, one of the Botanical Journaling Blocks, as the base. I painted each side a light tan colour, then added pale green stenciling. The chipboard shapes, also from Gypsy Soul, were painted the same pale green (after some were dry embossed with my Cuttlebug) then added. A few "bubbles" were added here and there, some clear and some iridescent, and sprinklings of microbeads as well as a few tiny real seashells. When making a two-sided project like this, it's important to allow glue to dry before turning it over.
I misted lightly with Tattered Angels Leap Frog, Money Bags and Maya Blue, then rubbed Finnabair Metallique waxes in Peacock and Lucky Emerald. Some silver alphabet stickers and a simple twine hanger finished the project off. Now all we need to do is teach the cats to read!! Just kidding....I think it'll be more about training hubby to remember lol!
Thanks so much for stopping by, and I wish you a happy, healthy October....and I'd love to hear some of your destructive pet stories!! xx hugs, Lynne
A wonderful door hanger Lynne and fabulous idea to keep your TP safe, lol. Gorgeous colours, textures and sea themed details xx
ReplyDeleteI'm smiling about the cats hee hee.. so cheeky. Your TP will now be in safe hands now you can close the door. Beautiful signs, beach scenes are all year round in my eyes and perfect for the bathroom, the addition of the shells is very sweet.

Such beautiful details and colours on your canvases. Stunning work. Have a creative week . Judy
ReplyDeleteMy cat doesn't destroy so much in home but brings back her hunting trophees so I don't know what I'd prefer! Your door signs are so fresh and summer feel, I love the way you made them.
ReplyDeleteYour door plaques are gorgeous.I love anything that relates to the sea.
ReplyDeleteI had to smile when I read about your cats..I had the same issue, but with the grandchildren,lol.
