Home Decor SU Style Blog Hop August 2019

Welcome to our Home Decor S U Style Blog Hop for August 2019! I hope you enjoy our designers choice hop. I bought this mirror in a local charity shop because I thought I could decorate it but I wasn’t sure what I might do.

Here’s what happened when I started playing with it. I sponged it with pear pizzaz ink then i stamped on it with Very Versaille stamp set. I wasn’t really happy with the strong green hue of it so once it was dry I randomly sponged some Versamark ink over the frame and embossed with gold. After that I was delighted with it and stamped over th etop of this with the script stamp from Very Versailles.

I had previously made the ‘sunflowers’ with the daisy punch and the smallest scallop punch in Crushed Curry and Early Espresso. I gold embossed with a stamp from Waterfront on some Early Espresso cardstock. The leaves are cut in Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and Gold using the leaf punch and a die from Winter Woods. I made this an affirmation mirror by adding a sentiment from Strong and Beautiful.
