Hello all! Welcome back to my midweek post and project 2 with the Stampin Up Lotus Blossom FREE stamp set!
This is something that I used to do all the time but hadn’t in ages. When I was sat thinking about these 3 projects I wanted to do this week, I knew I didn’t want to stick with all cards. So here is a door hanger for you!
I’ve made this one for my Mum for mother’s day. Bit early but its good to be prepared!
So this blog post will be set out a little different as I have taken photos along the way this time, as otherwise there was going to be too much a me rambling on!
So first off, I bought this hanger in a pack of 10 on eBay. You can get them with or without the heart cutouts at the bottom. I gave it a very quick and thin coat of white paint. I left it thin as I didn’t want it completely white, just enough to have a little bit of base for the inking I wanted to do. I’ve stamped the flowers and cut them out.
To make the ‘fence’ I have used my woodgrain stamp on some Vanilla cardstock, and I’ve cut them all out and cut a point on top of each one.
I’ve then sponged over the fence pieces with Sahara Sand ink and Chocolate Chip ink. I love how these turned out but of course, play around and find the look that you want 🙂
So with everything stamped, cut and dry, it was time to ink the background and assemble! I roughly cut out some cloud shapes and sponged in Pool Party from the middle of the cloud mask out.
I adhered everything thing on with Fast Fuse and then cut a strip of cardstock and just wrote ‘Mum’ onto it with the darker of my Rich Razzleberry blendabilities. I’ve added some rhinestone’s on just to finish it off 🙂
I really hope that you like this project! I love having a change-up from cards as I’m never fully happy with my card designs!
