In our Facebook videos this week, Ann & Lisa are using some absolutely gorgeous products our sponsor ReneaBouquets® to create some amazing projects that we know you are going to want to recreate yourself not only for a fun activity to do but also to add a touch of summer beauty to your home. This was the first time that we worked with this company and in doing so we were pleased with the beauty and the quality of the products, even down to the packaging that the products were delivered in.
In our first video this week, Lisa created a “Mermaids Welcome” wall hanging. She started the project with two different sized artist canvas adding a background image using a stencil designed by Ann Butler Designs for StencilGirl® and inkpads from Gina K. Designs®. Lisa finished out the project by adding the beach themed products from ReneaBouquets® You can find the complete video tutorial by clinking on the link below the finished project photo.
