Hi all, welcome to the Lagoon blog hop! If you are hopping along then you are here from Hetty's blog. If you get lost along the way or want to start at the beginning head to Karen's post on the club scrap blog. For this months hop i am sharing with you a faux canvas i made using the lagoon kit.
Now because my box lid was already a beautiful glossy white similar the the paper i used I didn't have to paint the edges but for a box lid that has a color you don't want to see just paint it with acrylic paint.
I trimmed traced and trimmed the seahorse patterned paper to the size of the lid and used a liquid glue to adhere it to ensure it stays on well. I then stamped the saying onto the tan cardstock and matted it on darkgreen cardstock then the burlap paper. Lastly, i added lots of shimmer onto the seahorses/ mermaid tail and burlap with distressed & regular stickles- see closeup pics

What a great canvas and the shell idea out of the sticker material is a great tip!
Very cool use of the sticker5s for your mermaid. Well done.
That's gotta be the most clever use of those teal dazzle stickers I've seen to date! Love how you used a punch to make shells out of the edge of the parent sheet, too!
Super cute canvas, and love how you punched out the darling shells using the sticker sheet, awesome idea! Love it!

Your details are brilliant! The dazzling mermaid tail, the punched shell stickers, and presto/chango color change on the rhinestone starfish=FUN underwater scene!
Wow, what a great faux canvas, love that using a box lid idea. Such a great quote to adorn your super cute and clever under water scene canvas!
