Love Your Gorgeous Smile Embroidery Hoop for 2Crafty Chipboard & Playing at Lindy's Gang March 2024 Color Challenge!!!

Hello my lovely friends,

I am so happy you are visiting my blog today for this post I made a embroidery hoop. I really enjoy working with all the pretty chipboard pieces by 2Crafty Chipboard. For this hoop I have of course used a photo of Abbey and I wanted to give you all a spring feeling with my hoop. Enjoy my post....

Love Your Gorgeous Smile:

2Crafty Chipboard used:
Circle Dot Frames
Leafy Shrub Set 2
Arrow Word Set 2
Your Smile is Like Sunshine
Fine Word Set 2
Hand Drawn Flowers

I gave all the chipboard pieces two coats of white gesso and then I altered them in different ways. The title "Your Smile" was coloured with several matte acrylic paints and the word "Gorgeous" I gave two layers of white embossing powder to make it a little shiny. I also did that with the arrow and the word "Love"

For the dotted circle frame I also altered it with matte acrylic paint & spray paints and when that was dry I added flatback crystals to match my embroidery hoop. The swirls and leaves are treated with some sprays, metallique paints & posca pens in different colours. I finished of my hoop by adding some white spray.

This is the color challenge at Lindy's Gang Blog beautiful colors & happy spring feeling. For this color challenge we had to use the pretty Alexandras Artists Magicals Set which has such gorgeous spring like soft toned colors that I could not resist playing.

"Handsome You Canvas March Color Challenge at Lindy's!

Hi my sweet fiends,

I was so happy with the March 2023 color challenge at Lindy's that I had to participate. I love to make gruncy projects with gears but it's way out of my comfort zone as I am normally totally into sweet pink and soft toned papers & embellishments like flowers and such. I totally went overboard with the gears and I used a then and now picture of our 18 year old son Kevin. And I used some older prima marketing flowers that I sprayed in the colors for this month.

Handsome You:

When the new Sharon Ziv mould was introduced I so wanted to have it and I have to tell you it's amazing. The gears are threated with two layers of gesso and some rust paste and some of the beautiful Lindy's Spray's. The same three butterflies are by Renea Bouquet and the other two by Prima Marketing.

The words handsome & you are sprayed with the Tibetan Poppy Teal Shimmer Spray and

Luscious Lime Flat Spray I really love the effect that the sprays give to the chippies and moulds. I treated the window with some crackle paste and later sprayed it with the two sprays above.

I also used a finnabair stencil on the background and I made myself a new watermark I love how it turned out like my canvas. This was such a fun project to make hope you like it too....
