Hi everyone, I'm up on the Bee Arty Blog today sharing an off the page project using the Bohemian Bliss collection. This project can be used as either a stand alone ornament, or a hanging ornament. If you've received the Bohemian Bliss kit, you would see a 'plank' of
thick chipboard. This is what I have used as the base for this project.
To start, adhere the chipboard to the floral side of the
Wild Child 12x12 paper. Cut excess of and sand down the edges so they are smooth.
Ink all edges with
Colour Blast White Gesso. I originally stenciled some feathers onto this piece but decided to go a different way (it happens when we are designing) so you can skip this step. It won't be seen on the final piece as it's hidden under all of the layers.
Adhere all pieces to the chipboard canvas as shown.
Cut the LIVE, LAUGH and LOVE from the
Sweet Talker Word Sheet. Mat each work onto some of the left over teal paper from the
Wild Child 12x12 paper. Doodle around the edge of each word with a white gel pen. Adhere to the chipboard canvas using foam tape.
Doodle lines around the edge of the pink later with a white gel pen.
Random adhere some teal sequins from the Bohemian Bliss kit and splashes of
Colour Blast White Gesso mixed with water to finish.
You can add some ribbon to the top either by punching holes or using very strong adhesive to make this a hanging ornament if you wish.

I hope you have enjoyed this project. Thanks for stopping by.
Until next time, happy crafting!
