Spring Bloom

Hello Crafty Friends!

Fairuz Fabiha here from Craftivation. Today I’ll be sharing with you a fun project where I have used stencil on fabric to create a simple but vibrant wall hanging home decor.

It’s a very beautiful sunflower patterned stencil and the possibilities are endless to create with it. I’ve used it many times on papers and mdfs. But for today, I wanted to try something different and hence I decided to work on fabric.

Process-

At first I took a piece of textured white fabric and tightly framed it to a sewing hoop.

Then I placed the spring bloom stencil over it and attached it with some masking tapes to keep it in place.

Then I started applying colors over. I’m not good with paintings and for that reason painting always stressed me out. But using the stencil for painting the flowers made the process very easy and therapeutic. I really enjoyed doing it this way.

After I was done with the flowers, I colored the background in green.

I let the whole background dry perfectly, then I wrote 'Hope' over it with bronze metallic paint and outlined it with black and white.

Voila! The beautiful wall hanging home decor is done! x

I would like to enter the STAMPloration THE STENCIL CHALLENGE

Hugs,

Home Alone Inspired Layout

Hello Craftivators!
Hope you’re all safe and sound. Today I’m back again with another fun project. I’ll be sharing with you a funny ‘Home Alone’ themed mixed media layout.

As I’m back home because of this lockdown and unable to do some craft shopping, I’ve very little amount of supplies with me. But that didn’t stop me from crafting. I looked for a some pictures in the newspaper and hit the jackpot when I found this cute photo of Kevin from home alone. Hence I decided to use it as the focal point.
Every element of the layout, starting from the striped paper in background to the flowers are made out of scratch.
‘Home Alone’ is one of my most favorite movies ever and I’ve watched it innumerable times. As much as I find this movie very funny, I find the movie very inspiring too. I’ve learnt no matter how much you’re underestimated, you can still make a great difference to your surroundings with your boldness, intelligence and positive vibes. That’s why I decided to use the sentiment “make a difference”.

I was also inspired by the lovely moodboard of the More Than Words Challenge.
For the funny element, I decided to add the funny photo of Kevin. And for the stripes, I have added blue stripes on the background.
