That's one of my most favorite quotes and, when I saw this new Chalk Couture transfer, I knew that I had to have it.
I thought it would be the perfect decoration (on the small Chalk Couture Pennant Banner) for my cubicle at work. Unfortunately, I didn't get a good adhesion of the transfer on the banner, and some of the ink seeped where I didn't want it. That meant I would have to go to plan B. I didn't exactly have a plan B, but I managed to whip up a new banner with a scrap of fabric. I'm actually quite proud of my homemade banner, considering that I've only been sewing for a month.
The second time around, I decided to use Chalk Paste instead of ink. My colors were Tide and Sage, and don't they look great swirled and mixed? To accomplish the mix, I spread Tide on the bottom half of the transfer, Sage was spread at the top, and then I used my finger to blend where the colors met and moved the paste around.
I know that my sewing is FAR from perfect (hence the green glitter strip across the top), but this turned out to be a great decoration!
Want to see another "We Rise" project? The one below is on a Board & Pillar Stand:
The nice thing about the Board & Pillar Stand is that the framed chalkboard can be oriented in a vertical or horizontal position, AND the chalkboard itself can be washed and re-used.
