I really tried to finish this project in January, but just couldn't get it to come together... but today, despite the migraine and nasty cold, I decided to try to finish it and get it out on the porch.
The burlap canvas was a 2-fer at HL I picked up before the move. The "H" was cut by K's hubby and I'm really liking it with no serifs.
I used some Deco Art goodies and a stencil (my design) and started the mixed media journey. What you can't see is the "mess" I created on the wooden letter; but the leftover texture looks cool under that black paint. The H is screwed to the bar on the back of the canvas... makes it easy to center.
Deco Art's metallic glaze is the highlight color and is so easy to use. It's on the canvas and on the tag. I even rubbed a bit on the sage colored ribbon to pull the colors together a little more. The wooden tag and metal heart clip and the word LUCKY from a TC die finish it off for the month of March.
The front door needed something too. A little color on the black door -- this silk coleus fit nicely in the metallic welcome basket. I love how versatile this half basket shape is. Flowers, greenery, berries and more all year long! Maybe it will take on a new color later this year.
