Hello everyone! As the theme over at
Craft-Room Challenge is Home Decor, I thought I'd keep with this theme and make a couple more pieces - nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that I love wall hangings, lol. This is the first (of probably a few!) - I will upload the others in a couple of days:
I used a blank canvas panel measuring 10 x 14in, and sponged 4 or 5 coats of walnut ink (the crystals dissolved in warm water) onto it with a make-up wedge - I've never used this stuff before but absolutely love how it turned out. All of the images (
Crafty Individuals) are stamped onto chipboard in Timber Brown Stazon and coloured with neat distress re-inkers (
Craft-Room), the backgrounds are coloured with distress ink pads and the receipt has been stamped. masked, and then re-stamped at an angle, and a memo pin with some charms (they tooks me AGES to attach, lol) pushed through it. The chandeliers (Kanban) are stamped directly onto the inked canvas with brown stazon, as are the flourishes (CI), with a bit of perfect pearls on the two bottom corner ones. The two blue roses are made of twisted seam binding (
Craft-Room) which I've dyed with weathered wood and added some small pearls, and the little knobs are glued onto the corners (think these were meant for a dolls house, lol) and a curtain trim attached to the back of the bottom. Some tissue tape round the edge, with Fresco Finish rubbed in, and some broderie anglaise on the larger image. Some close ups of the images:

This one is for meeeeee, and I've put it on my living room wall :-)
