Hello crafters!
Today is a special day... I am featuring as GDT on the Creative Artist Challenge blog, where the theme is Anything Mixed Media goes! I would usually have paints involved for a Mixed Media make but my muse decided otherwise...
I was itching to use wood again and make a door hanger (see my previous one here) with a garden theme.

I was itching to use wood again and make a door hanger (see my previous one here) with a garden theme.
All the garden elements have been stamped, die-cut and coloured with pencils and are all from the Crafters Companion Country Lane collection.
For finishing touches I added the embossed "garden" a stamp by Paper Artsy (ELB02) with Cosmic Shimmer in Aurora. It's a very thick EP with lots of small speckles that blew all over which gave that imperfect look (my heat gun is over enthusiastic shall we say!)
Finally, I dug deep into the stash to retrieve Flowersoft! Anyone remember how popular this was? I felt positively virtuous using it as, let's face it, my pot hasn't seen a lot of action and yet, at the time, I had to have it.
I hope you like this make and pop over to the Creative Artist Challenge blog to see all the DT makes and link up to the challenge.

What a fun project! Thank you so much for joining the challenge at Allsorts.
ReplyDeleteFranchement bravo, que d'idées tu as !! Pour commencer j'adore ton fond en bois embossé à partir d'un fond alimentaire fin, je n'y aurais jamais pensé ! Ensuite , ta petite scène de jardin en relief est adorable 😍 j'aime beaucoup ton embossage de titre aussi... top ! Bises
ReplyDeleteA lovely imaginative make, I adore the idea of a doorway to a secret garden what an escape that would be. A childhood favourite book of mine. Glad you got to use that flower soft, it's gives a very effective texture.
ReplyDeleteThank you for being our November Guest Designer @ Creative Artiste, wonderful to have you with us.

Your garden looks so inviting! It is evident that you enjoyed this upcycling project. I love your coloring very much. :-) A huge thank you for being our guest designer at Creative Artiste this month!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a stunning make! I love the shimmer of the background and the way the arch leads you into the pretty garden - perfect 😊. Thanks so much for joining us as Guest Designer at Creative Artiste and for the amazing inspiration. Happy November ❤️. Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous door hanger and a fabulous idea to use the wood as a base. The lovely garden elements look so pretty and the Flowersoft and embossing add wonderful textures. Thank you for being a fantastic Guest Designer for us at Creative Artiste this month xx
ReplyDeleteA quick tip for thick embossing powder - heat from underneath first so the enamel starts to set. Finish from the front as the powder should now stick.
Congratulations on being our Guest Designer for this month at Creative Artiste. What a fabulous door hanger - that reminds me to try and add one of these to my 'to be made list' which is growing ever longer!!
