Just sittin'

The year's end is fast approaching...time to renew

Moxie Fab World's Tuesday Trigger has a calming effect on me. Take a look at this room from Coastal Living. Serene. Love the colours.

The colour combo was most inspirational to me.

I decided to use this chair image from Impression Obsession and coloured it in a light warm gray with my Copic markers. I think the gray gives the chair that worn, has a history look to it. Maybe many stories were read/told from that chair...
The cushions on the chair took their colour combo from this pattern paper from DCWV "Berry Street" from the Farmer's Market pack. I love the textures and quality of this company.


Here is a close up of the chair. I cut out all of the spaces on the chair back with an Exacto knife. I have to tell you that this took more than the 5 minutes in my head that I thought it would! I do like the outcome however :) I also decided that the seat cushion should be puffy, so I stamped out another and coloured, backed it with dimensional foam and voila', a puffy seat cushion.
The punches I used are MS and the sentiment is also Impression Obsession.

Thanks for peeking in again,
cheers, chriss

  8. Awesome work on the chair and the pillows! The pillows look so real. You have inspired me to take out my sewing machine and make new pillows for my rattan chairs.
