Ya llega el mes de agosto, un mes especial en el que mi padre, mi hermano, mi primo y mi hijo cumplen años. Pero hoy la cosa no va de chicos, sino que he creado este proyecto de home decor para mi ahijada Lara.
The month of August has arrived and it's a special month full of birthdays (my father's, brother's, cousin's and son's). But contrary to what you might think, I haven't made a manly project for today. Instead I've created a very girly piece of home decor for my goddaughter Lara.

Se trata de un lienzo mixed media con colores claros, mucha textura y unas grandes letras desgastadas. Me inspiré un montón en la imagen del reto de agosto de La Pareja Creativa:
It's a sort of mixed media canvas in a light colour scheme with plenty of texture and some large distressed letters. I was very inspired by La Pareja Creativa's August challenge picture:

Usé lo que tenía por casa y productos de La Pareja Creativa para recrear el ambiente shabby chic de la foto en un cuadro.
I used material that I had around the house and LPC products to recreate the shabby chic feel of the inspiration picture and turn it into a canvas.

Adherí un trozo de lino al panel de fondo de un marco ("Ribba" de Ikea) de 20 x 20 cm, con cinta de doble cara Sookwang y recorté el sobrante con un bisturí antes de proceder a mancharlo...
I adhered a piece of linen to the backing board of the 8" x 8" ("Ribba" by Ikea) photo frame with double-sided Sookwang tape and cut the leftover fabric with a craft knife. Then I started working on it with...
...con gesso blanco, stencils, sellos, tintas en spray, tintas Distress y varias formas troqueladas.
...white gesso, stencils, stamps, spray and Distress inks and many die cuts.

Pinté las letras de DM (eran blancas) con chalk paint rosa y una vez secas las desgasté con papel de lija. Hice lo mismo con el marco para darle un toque envejecido. Pegué las letras al lienzo con Super Thick Tacky Glue.
I painted the white MDF letters with pink chalk ink and once they were dry, I distressed them with sandpaper. I did the same to the frame to give it an aged look. I adhered the letters to the canvas with some Super Thick Tacky Glue.

Los últimos detalles fueron unas medias perlas, y una concha en tonos rosas, que encontré en la playa. Le di la vuelta a la segunda "A" por razones de espacio, pero la verdad es que le da un toque divertido al proyecto. Voy a ver cómo se han inspirado en la foto mis compañeras. Espero que os animéis a participar en este bonito reto y poder optar al vale de 20€ para la tienda de La Pareja Creativa. ¡Hasta pronto!
The last details were some half pearls and a shell in pink tones that I found on the beach. I turned the second "A" upside down due to the lack of space, but it actually gives the project a fun feel. Now I'm going to check ot what my DT colleagues made. I hope you feel inspired to participate in this pretty challenge and have a chance to win a 20€ gift card to LPC's online store. See you soon!
