I can take no credit for this project. This was 100% dreamt up and created by my crafty husband. He’s the true artist in the family, and I think sitting back and watching me create was secretly gnawing at him. He wanted in on the fun. I’m so glad he decided to join us!
Last night while I was away at a B&B for an overnight with an old college roomie, my hubby went to a thrift store and purchased shirts for the family. He then ventured to Michaels and bought stamps, Staz-on stamp pads, and fabric paint. He painted bleach onto a stamp pad to create the cute flower on my hip!
He placed a plate inside the shirt and then painted a circle with bleach on the back .
Once this was washed out and dried, he stamped “he loves me” all over the bleach spot. Then finished it off with a stenciled “HIS” in fabric paint.
He also gave me a sweet “his” on my sleeve cuff. I love it! Thanks for my early b-day gift. It’s precious babe!
The boys weren’t left out of the fun!
Matt brought home a stamping kit from the library (who knew???) called “Build Your Own Dinosaur”. He dipped the stamps in white fabric paint. To add some definition, he stamped over the white with a black Staz-on pad.
I’m not sure I’ll ever get my kiddos to take these tees off!
The lettering was created with fabric paint and a letter stencil.
I love it and I love you Matt! Thanks for joining the party!
