Joy

Happy New Year!  Today is the new challenge for the Funkie part of the Frilly and Funkie Design Team.  The first challenge of 2017 New Year's Inspiration is hosted by Jenny she has asked us to be inspired by New Year's resolutions.  For this challenge  create a vintage or shabby chic project depicting what you are inspired to do/achieve this year.

I have been inspired by 2017 to think positively.  I used Joy as my word for 2017. 

I created a wall hanging to put in my craft room to keep me focused on Joy in 2017.



I started with the music stencil in the background and misted it using wild honey distress stain spray. I repeated a few times on mixed media paper.  I also used it on a gessoed cardboard background.


I then used a variety of stamps and objects to think about Joy and how I could give joy, find joy, choose joy and be joyful.

The team will choose their top four picks with the winner being invited to join us in a Guest DT spot here at Frilly and Funkie and the next three will receive badges to display on their blogs. Everyone who enters and follows the rules will be entered into the draw to have the chance to win a $25 spending spree at The Funkie Junkie Boutique.

I hope you find joy in 2017!

  2. This is wonderful, Suzz! I love that you chose the word "joy" and not happiness because joy is something you can choose for yourself and is not dependent on circumstances. I love the way you mixed text, color and design here...and I love bees, so that really makes me happy as well. Wishing you joyful moments in 2017!

  3. Love your project and your choice of words. If you have joy, you automatically have happiness and peace and hope and on and on. There is lots of wonderful stenciling on your wall hanging and the colours exude joy.
    Hugs!
