A YELLOW Valentines Vignette...

This year my Valentine's sideboard decor is YELLOW!
I mean - why does it always have to be ...
pink...or red?
My old upcycled sideboard is in the darkest corner of the room,
so the YELLOW makes it POP with beautiful happy colour!


I used my Valentine collage canvas as the centrepiece.
You can find out how to create one HERE.
Then I bought the brightest yellow chrysanthemum flowers I could find.
But if you can't source them yellow lilies or gerberas are an option too.
I placed the flowers into a French inspired white tin container that my vase fitted inside.


The other side of the side board was decorated with an upcycled yellow spray painted heart.


This was hung inside a rustic white crate.

The final touch was some fairy lights.

These heart shaped battery operated lights were a 'Farmers' store find.


I'm LOVING everything about my YELLOW Valentine vignette...
Such a bright, cheery and still romantic change from the usual Valentine's colours.


And visitors to my home really LOVE it too.

Valentines Collage Canvas...


This collage art piece is Valentine inspired...
You could create your own picture in whatever colours you like...
I chose yellow.

You will need:
A canvas - 30cm x 30cm with a 3cm edge.
Acrylic art paint in the colour you choose and in white.
A selection of images to collage.
(I used images from the free resources at Graphics Fairy.)
Scissors
Modpodge
Paintbrush.


Step One:  Paint the canvas as desired with the colour paint and with white to create contrast.


Paint the outside edges of the canvas white.

Step Two: Let the paint dry.
Cut out or tear around the edges of your images.


Step Three:  Glue the images in a collage fashion on to the painted canvas using modpodge.


Step four:  Paint a sealer of modpodge glue over the entire collage.
Once it is dry all the images will flatten out on to the canvas.
Staple a string hanger onto back of the picture to hang,
or just stand the canvas on a book shelf or side table.

Busy Bees...

Sharing today a few photographs from my Southern Hemisphere Summer garden...

 The sun is shinning, it's lovely and warm, and the bees are busy collecting pollen.

 I'm loving the bright yellow cheer of these photographs.

And thank the busy bees for my future HONEY.  🐝
