Love Song Blog Hop
Day 2

If you arrived here from Kemma's blog you are in the right place, if not, head back to the beginning of the hop by clicking on the ICON above so you don't miss any of the wonderful projects created by the talented Design Team.

As you know by now, we were asked to design a project based on an inspiration, this inspiration being a love song.  Well, since I am only 16 and I don't have a favorite love song, I picked a song that I really like listening to on the radio and interpreted it in the following way:

My love song is called, "Today was a Fairytale" by Taylor Swift.

My canvas wall hanging includes a photo of an elderly couple reminiscing about their "fairytale day" years ago.  I am imagining that they took a trip to France and saw the Eiffel Tower.  They are as much in love today as they were then, if not more.  

This project starts with a coat of paint used to cover the canvas.  Next, a 12 x 12 piece of patterned paper was torn around the edges and was adhered to the canvas using mod podge.  

First, the photo of the couple was added,  It was offset so that it hangs just over the side of the canvas.  It was printed in black and white to highlight the age of the couple.

Second, an Eiffel Tower was created with chalk paper by first cutting out an Eiffel Tower using the Wall Decor and More Cricut cartridge and centering it on the chalk paper.  Chalk was added all around the cut out and then the cut out was carefully removed. 

Finally, the title of the project, "Today was a Fairytale" was computer generated and adhered to the canvas.  Working with odd numbers typically brings about a balance so that is why there are three pieces on this project.
