Welcome to our start projection of the Summer Style Soiree! If you're novel here, I'm thence glad you're visiting. Many thank you lot to Heather from Southern State of Mind who is the mastermind behind this fiddling serial together with challenged us to practise to a greater extent than or less projects through the summertime inspired past times iv famous fashion icons. We're starting off today amongst the beautiful Audrey Hepburn!

Well, my selection is no large surprise, but this prototype of Audrey inspired my project:

She was a lover of dark together with white stripes too. She also had a unwrap of fun quotes, together with I chose a business out of this 1 to highlight.

I started amongst a thick 18" canvass that I picked upward at the thrift shop for a few dollars. Cute, but I had other plans for it. I intend cashier was a fiddling dismayed when I told her I'd hold upward prototype over it.

I knew I wanted to induce got to a greater extent than or less variation inwards the lettering, together with for the emphasized words to induce got a colorful, abstract feel. I started past times making off the department of canvass where those words would be, together with roofing it amongst a multifariousness of colors. No rhyme or reason, simply spots of paint.

After allowing that to fully dry, I adhered to a greater extent than or less large scrapbook stickers for the words "Happy" together with "Prettiest." Then, sprayed the entire canvass white.

After allowing for drying fourth dimension again, I used Frog Tape to score off stripes together with and then sprayed black. Two striped projects inwards 1 week!

Shortly next the finally coat of black, I peeled the record together with large stickers off. The tip of an exacto knife is helpful inwards lifting the corners of the letters if your letters are stuck downward actually well.

Full disclosure if you lot desire to endeavour a projection similar this: these stickers didn't stick really good to the canvas, thence at that topographic point were to a greater extent than or less messy edges. A few touch-ups amongst a pocket-size brush fixed it correct up.

Finally, I used these to consummate the phrase. I had planned to pigment the gilt lettering every bit well, but when I saw these stickers I decided to accept the tardily road for this part. Unlike the larger letters, these DID stick well.

Just nearly finished, I idea it needed something more. With Kayla's cute projection fresh on my mind, I added a few thumbtacks to the edges.

When I planned this project, I had inwards heed to hang it inwards my daughter's room or bath every bit a reminder that there's no amend accessory than a smile. However, I'm non certain it volition give-up the ghost inwards dorsum at that topographic point every bit I'm actually enjoying it inwards the hall side past times side to our pulverization bath!
