My First DT Post For Altered Eclectics

This is my first DT post for the Altered Eclectics challenge and I've made a Christmas Door Hanger. The challenge is Always Anything Goes As Long As It's Not A Card.

I found a plastic door hanger in a charity shop, it had a cute design on it. I started by giving it a couple of coats of gesso and then painted it blue.

I then stencilled some snowflakes with modelling paste and when the paste dried I gave it a wash of mermaid Fresco Finish paint and then I dry brushed it with snowflake Fresco Finish paint.

I put some stickles over the snowflakes and painted DecoArt Media Crackle Glaze over all the hanger when the stickles had dried, then I edged it with black soot
I die cut a Sizzix snowman and covered it with the crackle glaze, then I die cut the two Sizzix deer out of one of my monoprints and stamped some script on them, I also put some crackle glaze on them. I used a Spellbinder die and white card for the poinsettia and leaves and I covered them with red and green stickles. I glued everything to the hanger together with some silver cord, silver beads and die cut letters.

This is a close up of the crackle.

Paint the hanger with the gesso, let it dry.

Paint the hanger with the dark FF paint, when dry spread a thin layer of the crackle glaze over it and when this is dry paint it with the lighter FF paint, as it dries you will see the crackles appearing. Sponge the picked raspberry round the edge.

Tear the book pages and adhere to the hanger.

Die cut the bird branch with the mountboard and cut away the bird, colour with the walnut stain and mowed lawn distress ink, adhere to the hanger.

Emboss the Frantage powder round the edge of the hanger and anywhere else you’d like it to go.

Cut out the images and double emboss them with the clear embossing powder. Adhere them to the card.

Here are a couple of close ups.

Blooming Canvas

Last Sunday I went with my friend Alison to the Craft Barn for a workshop with the lovely Jo Firth-Young. We made a canvas and a door hanging.

This is the door hanging.
I painted the wooden base with PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Paints, then when it was dry I spread a layer of Fresco Finish crackle glaze and when this was dry I added another coat of a lighter paint, I love the crackle effect. When all the paint was dry I went round the edge with some Distress ink. The flowers and leaves are Claudine Hellmuth Blooms, stamped onto white card with the paint and then cut out and attached to the base, then I added a few buttons.

The canvas is 12" x 12" and I painted it with PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Paint. I stamped the Claudine Hellmuth blooms with the paint onto sticky backed canvas and cut them out, the fence and some of the flowers were stamped onto an old book page. I added some buttons and liquid pearl dots.and one of the things that I bought whilst at the Craft Barn was the Tim Holtz Sizzix/Alterations Decorative Strip die so I added a border to the top of the canvas.
