Paper Art


This tulip painting is above my coat closet in the front entryway. I saw a similar piece at the General Store made with fabric and buttons and decided to try scrapbook paper for the flowers. So I painted the canvas, cut out the flowers, decoupaged and then embellished with buttons. It turned out really cute.

It's just a great place to display a seasonal decoration. This one is obviously for Fall. I love the squirrel chasing the leaves. Again I used scrapbook paper for the leaves and hand painted the rest. So cute!




Have a blessed day!

SO CUTE! I wish I could paint! No, seriously, thanks for being optimistic, but I can't. Really!

But I love the scrapbook paper effect - maybe I could do something along those lines with all of it. I'd just need a pattern for the little squirrley or whatever critter I chose!

You did a great job! It's so cute

I LOVE the applique-esque-ness of these pieces.

I will use this for inspiration.

I tell myself.

When in truth I'll never Get Around to it.
