Just for Fun

GOOOD MONDAY MORNING!!! 

I have a fun little project to share with you today. 

I say fun because it is not fantastic :)

Just something I got in my head and started creating - throwing all caution into the wind and not really over thinking anything.. and just did it :D lol!

This is a little clipboard I created for my daughters ballet teacher from last year. Hannah loved working with her, but in moving up, she has a NEW teacher whom she is getting used to (it is a guy :) so you know that it is a big change... but he is amazing!) 

Anyway - I created a stencil of sorts using thick cardstock and my cricut. I then placed the paper over the clipboard and spray painted chalkboard paint in the corner. The rest of the clipboard was hand drawn then painted with acrylic paint. The image was drawn to look like the person who is receiving the gift. I drew it  with a sharpie marker and colored it with  prismacolor color pencils. I colored the dress with a red sharpie, covered it in glossy accents and then sprinkled it with a fine glitter. Wish it was more glittery... looks sugar coated. I messed up the middle, touched it too soon. So I had to add a glass microbead belt.  THEN I had a brilliant idea to cover it with stickles. Did not work so great! it did not spread well with the paint brush, but soaked up into it instead. We live and we learn right? But overall, I had a blast getting messy and creating it.

 I hope she likes it :)

Have a wonderful day today!

BIG HUGS!!!!
