Decorate to Celebrate #30 - Anniversary, Wedding, Engagement

Happy Wednesday, everyone!! It's time for another super-fun challenge at Decorate to Celebrate!! For Challenge #30, we are asking you to create any project to be used as a party decoration (or party supply) for an ANNIVERSARY, WEDDING OR ENGAGEMENT!! Let's celebrate everything wonderful about being in love with your table decorations, party banners, pennants, yard signs, cupcakes, party favors and more!! :)


For my anniversary, wedding, engagement decorations, I made a decorative wall hanging for the happy couple!! For those of you that remember back in January, I got a deal at Michaels on ten canvases. This is project four of ten. To prep the canvas, Mod Podge was used to adhere an old music sheet, and when it dried, paint was applied in white, burnt umber and pink with a baby wipe. The Eiffel Tower was cut from Wall Decor and More in Grunge Paper, and then inked with Worn Lipstick and embossed with two coats of Ultra Thick Clear Utee Embossing Enamel, and attached with foam tape. The letters were cut from Base Camp on Grunge Paper, inked with Worn Lipstick, stamped with a music note stamp and covered with Glossy Accents.


The flowers are Spellbinders Spiral Blossom one dies, cut in Eco-friendly felt and then inked with Worn Lipstick, Tea Dye and Tattered Rose Distress Ink, with tulle in between.


The clock is a Tim Holtz die cut twice, once in black for the shadow. The hearts are from George and Basic Shapes, and welded together on the Gypsy. Foam tape was used for dimension. The paper is DCWV. "Kisses" and "I love you" are from K Andrew Designs Owly Hoo stamp set:

Now it's your turn!! Head on over to Decorate to Celebrate to see the amazing projects my talented Design Team sisters have created for today's challenge!! Then link up your Anniversary, Wedding or Engagment decorations!! I can't wait to see what you create :)

    This is such a gorgeous wall hanging, my sweetest friend! The colors are so soft and romantic.. and I love the use of shadows. It makes everything stand out so beautifully. The papers are gorgeous and I crazy love that you used felt for your flowers. :o) (I would totally be petting them all day.) Love the use of tulle and the layered trims at the bottom. Stunning, beautiful, marvelous project, Lisa! (OH and I love the welded hearts, too!) You are more amazing than sparklers. :o)

    Hugs and blessings!
