This is the cutest paper!! Those little flowers have furry little flocked petals on each and every one :0)
Very girlie (for big girls too!!)
The paper that i have used on the stem is also more paper you just HAVE to touch, all the little elements have a beautiful glittery finish.
Both were perfect for this door hanger made for a birthday gift for one of Maddisons friends, Becca.
For the "B" we painted it with a couple of layers of Heidi Swapp "betty" acrylic paint and when that was dry i stamped over it in black stazon using the paisley stamp from the new "Reagan's Closet" clear stamps from Heidi Grace. I must say if you are a lover of stamps, you are going to LOVE these!! I have acquired 3 new sets over the last week!!
Reagans's Closet, Heidi Grace
Sweetest Bug Icons, Heidi Grace
Mission, Ink By Steph
All available at Spotlight, picked them up in Cairns last week, check them out you won't be sorry ;0)
Anyway, where were we? After i stamped the black stazon and it was dry i put a wash of white over the top cause the pink was just a bit too heavy, when that was dry i coloured little bits with a white gel pen and added a bit of bling.
Then i decided to drill a hole with the Fiskars drill, now ideally this would probably be better done before you painted, but you know you just make it up as you go along;0)
My trusty assistant, Christopher was close by to hold the B, well actually we had a little tiff about who was going to drill, i won this time!!(usually its him!) Remember to drill into something thick as you can see you will drill right through the other side and into the table, craft mat or anything else that might be underneath...yes speaking from experience ;0) All ready to thread a piece of ribbon through to attach to the door hanger.
See the furry bits on the flowers, cute hey?
Well thanks for stopping by, will be back later to share my photo of the day for yesterday and today.
Annette :0)
