Inspired by Pinterest!


Hello all,

I love Pinterest a lot because it has become a source of inspiration for my creativity.
 But not just for making papercrafts but also for paint colours for my home.



I found this picture on pinterest and I liked it a lot. I saved the picture on my desktop. I love that striped wall and wanted to paint a striped wall for a feature wall in my house. When time came, I spoke to my painter friend and together we went for three different shades of grey. Below are a few pictures of how my striped feature wall came about.



First painted gloss white as I wanted the white to pop out and not be in the background. Then measured and masked using the masking tape. This step took a white to get it done. And then painted three different shades of grey. Three coats and I was getting impatient as I wanted to strip the masking tape off to see the result.



I had to wait over night to do it. I was filled with excitment peeling the tape off.


And after a few touch ups, here is my beautiful striped wall. It turned out amazing. A few neighbours saw it driving through and came in to look at it. They all loved it. We were so excited. The rest of the house is the lightest grey with white trims. Here are couple of more photos:)



Pinterest is a great resource. Love it. Thanks for sharing my excitment

Have a great day!

Another WCMD card.

Hi!
 I am back again after a week of away from home.
Just a quick post today, sharing another card, I made for World Card Making Day!
This card I made for Love category.

I have combined stamps from Market Street Stamp Designs, Lawn Fawn and My Favourite Things. I love the graphic nature of this card.

I am moving in three weeks time. Started packing. Craft supplies are the last to pack. More DT projects to be made and photographed. Then will pack the supplies:) My craft corner in my new house almost ready. The wardrobe guy is fixing the shelves this Friday. Ikea table top and legs all assembled. Sorting through my craft supplies into Ikea boxes here. Cannot wait to get them all organised because I am going from a large space here to a small space in the new house:( Less is more is my moto at the moment. Plenty to give away and I will still take some cupboard space in the laundry:( Anyway, I am starting to get excited about the move. In the next post I will share some photos of the painting work @ my new house:)

The center focal piece of this card is made using Silhouette Cameo. I have layered the cut file with red cardstock. The diecut is from Papertrey Ink Vines die. The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted Stamps. I love this card. Hope you do too:)
