Of course artwork is all
creativity and a dash of effort
but with this design,
I'm going to add in a pinch of fun.
It makes a super project with a child and the results are so cute and professional looking.
RECIPE:
1) Select your color chips from a local paint or hardware store. I selected about 5-7 color cards in graduating colors. Some variations might be rainbow colors or contrasting colors.2) Get yourself a large 1" punch from a craft store. I used a heart shape but circles, squares, etc. work great too.
3) A nice background color that compliments your color choices will be needed to glue the chips onto prior to framing. I used a pearl white cardstock.
4) Hot glue - elmers is easy but takes longer to dry.
5) A frame to seal it all up and hang when done
THAT'S IT! Simple - Right?
Ok. Next...
STEPS:
1) Using your stamp, cut out the colors to use and arrange them on a hard surface. Make changes when you have cut them all out. Some colors look better next to each other than the way they were presented on the paint chips from the store.
2) Glue them into place on your cardstock. Try to remember that it must fit into your frame so don't go beyond the last 1/2" of the paper it it may lay underneath the frame edge.
3) Place inside your frame and your ready to hang it!
YIPPEE!
