Nailed it on Monday # 47: The couch cushion of my aunt
I get inspired by the weird things. My aunt had a couch. Originally I wanted to do a striped design with roses, so I skipped the stripes.
China Glaze - Bermuda Breakaway and several water decals. They work like those tattoos we put on as kids. If you're interested, I can make a special post about water decals!
Did you guys enjoy your Easter weekend?
ANY YEAR ago, my aunt had a pillow that was completely dark blue and embroidered with roses. Somehow I remembered this pillow when I was sitting on the couch with bare bones again and wanted to paint something. Maybe it's because we always visit my aunt for breakfast on easter sunday . Actually, I wanted to brush that look I found on Pinterest .
Unfortunately, the blue paint struck me by the bill (or rather no line ☺) and I left it at the university with roses variant.
Friends will be the dark blue Bermuda Breakaway from China Glaze and I will not. Actually, 2 layers should suffice with such a dark color, but as you can see, it looks spotty in strong light. In natural light, that's not the case and I'm still very much in love with the result!
For the roses I used Water Decals for the very first time. Do you still know the water-soluble tattoos that we have taped as children? That's how Water Decals work. Through their white background they also stand out on dark colors. Sure, you could paint it like hand Valerie, but I'm too stupid and I would never manage that much detail.
I'm happy to send you a mail make Water Decals if you're interested!
I simply integrated the stripe motif with my shirt ☺ At the moment I think only of stripes and roses, because the nail design fits quite well!
Have you enjoyed the holidays? Have you ever used Water Decals or are you just hearing about them for the first time?
