Wall Hanging

Evening All,
This is another project I made for the Craft Stamper magazine competition. This time it was for the round sponsored by Creative Expressions. Could not believe it when this was shortlisted as well and was in the February issue of Craft Stamper!

 



Creative Expressions Stamps - Meadow Flora and British Wild Flowers

Cosmic Shimmer Mica Pigments – Sapphire Ultra, Jade Teal, Apple Green and Golden Mint

Cosmic Shimmer Mist – Aqua Lagoon and Golden

Cosmic Shimmer Vintage Mica Flakes – Precious Gold

Creative Expressions Metal leaf Embellishments – Medium and Small
 

To make the background take an A3 sheet of card and sponge with Distress inks (Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Shabby Shutters and Mowed Lawn) adding the blues and greens in different areas and blending well. Flick with water and blot dry. Spray lightly with Cosmic Shimmer Mists.

 

 

When completely dry cut piece from card to measure 21cm x 28.5cm, and cut this into nine pieces of 7cm x 9.5cm (keep pieces in order) Stamp each one with a script stamp using VersaMark ink and brush with Cosmic Shimmer Mica Powders and set.
 

Stamp the edges of pieces with the small texture stamps – cracks, dots and bricks with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

 

 

Stamps various flowers with VersaMark ink and white embossing powder, making some of the flowers overlap onto the adjoining piece. 
 

Use scraps of card from the A3 piece to stamp butterflies in black and cut out. Ink with VersaMark and cover with clear embossing powder and attach to the panels. Stamp quotes in black onto scraps, trim and mount onto black card and onto panels. 
 

Ink edges of each panel with black. On the outer panels tap with VersaMark ink and add UTEE, heat and repeat. While still hot cover with Cosmic Shimmer Mica Flakes, carefully press into UTEE, tap off excess and heat to ensure held in place by UTEE. 

 

 

Mount each panel onto black card and mount in order onto bronze card.

 

 

Take five small and one medium leaf embellishment and tap with VersaMark ink, cover with clear detail embossing powder and heat. When nearly cool dust with Mica Powders and reheat to set. Attach to panels.
 

Colour a piece of ribbon with Distress inks and Cosmic Shimmer Mists. Attach to back and tie on metal leafs. Attach to mount board to finish.
