This was such a fun project to do!
I teamed up with a few of my Creative Crew members to do a video collaboration showcasing Canvas Corp Brands' products. Our theme was "rainbow", and this is what I came up with! My colors are more of a pastel rainbow since those were the paints I had on hand. I started by taking a dirty, old paintbrush that was past its painting days (which was my fault for not properly cleaning it after I stained a piece of furniture!). I applied a coat of Mankato Decor and DIY paint to the handle of it. Then, I wrapped a paper doily over the front, and some jute twine around just over the bristles. For the embellishments, I dug through my stash and found several flowers that I liked. They werent the colors I wanted but a little Tattered Angels' paints fixed that! I used Black Orchid and Violet Rose Chalkboard mists.
After the flowers were misted I added some Ivory High Impact paint just to the tips of the petals. I felt like this helped define the petals so they would stand out and not get too lost.
When I figured out how I wanted them arranged I glued them down. I also added some metal gears from Lollibeads and some Doodlebug sequins.
After I recorded the whole video I went back and added some tiny glass beads here and there because I thought it added a little more bling to the piece. I hope you'll take the time to watch the process video and to stop by some of the other Creative Crew member's channels!
Happy Crafting!

This is stunning, Marie Nicole. I've seen this idea before on Christmas projects, but this is shabby chic and SO beautiful. I just might have to give it a try. Great creativity and you have truly inspired me to push my limits and try it. I'd like to tell you about two great challenges where I'd LOVE to have you share your talents. I hope you will stop by to link up with us here. It would be such a blessing to me.
