Hello Creative Friends
I hope you are all keeping well and looking forward to the weekend?
Today I'm here to announce a new Paperbabe blog challenge
using the picture below as your inspiration.
We'd love to see your take on the Picture Inspiration so
pop on over HERE and join in with the creativity.
Here's what I got up to and how it came to be..
Using a large canvas tote bag I masked around the edges and used paints suitable
for fabric to create a background. Painting, spraying, dabbing and scraping through
stencils from the Paperbabe range. I had so much fun creating it..
With the Peony and Buds stamped onto plain decoupage rice paper I applied directly
onto the painted canvas using fabric decoupage glue, sealing it with another coat
and then began to paint it using the colours from the picture prompt.
When finished I painted around the flower blending in colours to hide any of the rice paper still visible. When happy with the design I removed the masking tape..
I love how the paint has seeped just a little outside those lines.
With some machine stitching added around the edges of the print
I ironed on the back to fix the paint making it suitable for washing.
My Hand painted Canvas Tote Bag is complete.
...but what about those hanging words I hear you say..?
well I'm saving that tutorial for another day!! Hee hee..
Thank you for sharing your time today and popping in
it really makes my day.
Take good care everyone
Creative Hugs

How lovely is this tote bag, Tracey! Just gorgeous. I love how you've blended the colours and all the different layers. Thank you for your second comment which I've just spotted - yes, junk jewellery is always fun, and at fetes you never know what you are going to find. I always come away with some treasure trove!
At present I am too tired to do anything creative except knitting - it's been such a busy week or two and it's all catching up with me now. I need a few days to recover and I hope next week isn't going to be quite so busy. It was amazing that I got that book back, wasn't it! I still can't quite believe it.

OMGosh. I am in LOVE, Tracey. I love how you masked the area and how well you kept the paint between the lines. I fell in love with the entire bag, and can't wait to learn more about the tag. Your instructions and photos were well done and informative, too.
