SOURCES OF INSPIRATION

Hello! Thank you for popping by for today’s project.

I find inspiration for different projects from so many sources. Today’s decor piece was inspired by a local restaurant that I walked past recently. As I wandered past I knew that I had a stamp set that I could use to achieve the style of headwear used in the restaurant’s logo. The restaurant is called Frida Kahlo’s Summer House. The owner, from Mexico, has a relative who used to live around the corner from Frida Kahlo.

Using the restaurants logo I made a template for the shape of the hair and brow. I hand cut this in Basic Black. Then I used the Art Gallery Stamp Set to create the Basic Black and Cherry Cobbler flowers.

I cut three layers for the background and glued them together. The hair and brow were adhered to the Basic White layer before shaping the flowers and adding them using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I attached some Adhesive Sheet to the back of the cardstock before cutting out the letters for ‘Summer House’ and positioned them on a piece of Basic Black cardstock. Black Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to layer this up on the background. An additional flower was attached near the ‘S’ and a few Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels were added.

Finally, I placed it inside an Ikea shadow frame. I am very pleased with the way this decor project turned out. What do you think? I am looking forward to giving this to the owner for his restaurant.

Until next time, happy stamping.
