To my ladies that sport some Lilly, and to those who do not: AYO! I'm Rachel and I blog over at Sunshine and Sinatra. So I am certainly not the most preppiest person ever, let that be known. However there is nothing I enjoy more than eyeing down some frat boys dressed from head to toe in whale prints. Ya know what I'm saying? If you want to know a little about me, we can start by saying I'm a Public Relations major who is overly obsessed with peanut butter and pizza lunchables...yep, that's pretty much it.  Like I said, to you Lilly Ladies, this is for you.  I made a Lilly Picture frame based off of the actual Lilly design First Impression. Clearly I added my own twist to it! Want to know how I did it? I got you.

Materials include: Frame (or surface you are painting), paint (I'd say about 3-4 different colors plus a robins egg blue color), brushes, glue.
1. Grab materials, obvi. 2. Feel free to check the actual print itself to try to be as accurate as possible! 3. Outline a flower, like above, in your lightest color. 4. Outline again in a bit darker color 5. Outline again in a darker color.

 6. Outlined again in orange and yellow (back to lighter colors) 7. Took a bit larger brush, as well as a much smaller one for the small cracks, and painted the outside blue in two coats. 8. being that this is a matte that is supposed to be inserted in a picture frame, I had to glue it together using the best glue ever. It's LOCTITE SUPER GLUE. except, be careful you don't get your fingers stuck together. It can happen. And then a beautiful thing was birthed into my life:





 







I added a picture of me and my sister in the middle to see how it would turn out ! If you are a prepster, get this: my sister runs a blog too! A much more prettier one than mine.  She also has the greatest handwriting ever that turned into custom cards for ya! Check out her shop here. Aren't you just dying over her illustrations?!
