Gecko Galz Spring Fling

Today it's my turn to be spotlighted in the Gecko Galz Spring Fling, this is a wall hanging that I made.

 

Images from Gecko Galz Birds of a Feather Collage Sheet.

Background Paper from the Pocket Full Of Posies set.

Mountboard.

Acrylic Paint - I used a pale pink, blue and cream.

Picked Raspberry Distress Ink.

Hessian

Lace.

Flowers from my stash.

Pearls.

Ribbon.

Coloured Card.

Black Peel Off Letters.
Paint the board with the acrylic paint, tear the background paper and adhere to the board - paint parts of it with the paint and a dry brush. Edge the board with the distress ink.

Adhere the hessian to the board and paint patches of it with the paint.

Adhere the lace to the board.

Distress the edges of the images and colour with the distress ink then adhere them to the board.

Cut the coloured card into triangles and add the peel offs. Edge with the distress ink, then adhere them to the top of the board.

Adhere the flowers and add the pearls.

Make a couple of holes and attach the ribbon.

  5. This is so lovely, Hazel. I've never got the hang or pastels or flowers (I have tried) so I like to see them used beautifully.
