Lily's Room - Door Plaque

Good morning all, hope you are well. I'm back at work today after a few days off because of the flu etc. So I hate to think what's waiting for me lol. But I'm sure it will be OK.

You may remember a couple of weeks ago, I made a door name plaque for one of my granddaughter's, Isabelle. 

Well when her big sister saw it she asked if she could have one, but a little more grown up. Well she is a big 6 lol. So this is what I've made for Lily. 

I used an artists canvas board again, but this time I covered it with lots of pieces of paper from the stash, all cut at different sizes.

I inked all around the edge with Picked Raspberry Distress Ink, and then sealed it all with Ranger Glue N Seal.

The little girl is an All Dressed Up digi stamp, which I coloured with Copics and Spectrums. I stuck her on with Cosmic Shimmer and then went over her with Glue N Seal. 

I coloured the chipboard letters with a Picked Raspberry Distress Marker, and stuck them on. I wanted to give the letters a bit of definition so I went around them with a black fine liner pen.

Then I added three different types of lace to the bottom using the hot glue gun and finally finished it off with a ribbon bow and some paper flowers. 

Hope you like it, Lily loved it.

Take care, see you soon.

Door sign

It's Friday and a Bank Holiday!  It doesn't get much better than that lol ;)

Continuing the non-card theme we seem to have going I thought I'd show you a door hanger sign I made yesterday.  The idea was based on the mdf hearts we did last week.  Unfortunately I think the colours are too similar for it to work.  Next time I'll use different papers.

I learnt a few tricks to make different flowers at the Dabble Day and tried to use some of our flower stamps to recreate them.  It hasn't worked brilliantly but they will do.

I used a couple of different stencils in the background and inked through with Distress Inks.

The ferns are made from a lovely die Jen bought recently.

I'm not too disappointed with the finished result.  Hope you like it.

Door Hanger

Good morning crafty friends. Well I have finally managed to finish a project that I have had on the go for a while. I have been dipping in and out of a few projects lately and not really getting to grips with any of them. So when I got home from work yesterday I made myself go and put the finishing touches to my door hanger.

 

This is for our craft room door :o))

 

 

I've done a little bit of everything on this I think lol. I started by inking the base with a few different colours of Distress Ink. Then I stamped some background images using black and teal Stazon ink.

 

 

Once these were all dry I highlighted some of the large peony flower with some purple drawing ink and then covered the whole of the background in crackle glaze.

 

 

Next I added some silver liquid pearl to parts of the flower and over the top of a stamped scroll, and then added Luna Silver Mica Flakes while it was still wet.

 

 

The phrase was cut on my Silhouette Cameo, and when I saw it, it just made me smile. I cut in in self adhesive cardstock and then stuck it to white Centura Pearl card. Then I inked over the top with distress inks and added a layer of crackle glaze.

 

 

The flowers are made from the Tattered Florals die, and then spritzed with Cosmic Shimmer Vintage inks. The final touches were courtesy of Jude ;o)) the beautiful flower and little bird were made on our melt pot workshop last month and she has let me have them for this sign. :o))

 

 

The sign is now hanging on the outside of the craftroom door so can be seen by all who enter.

 

 

Hope you are having a good week. Thank you for stopping by.

 

See you soon
