To Be Strong Is To Dare To Appear Weak

Happy Friday!

It's fun to try to create anything other than cards sometimes, so here I taken the opportunity to do a wall hanger where I used Inca Gold on fabric.

Sooo.... if you have time to look at some pictures, you are welcome.

I started by gluing fabric on a thick piece of cardboard.

Then I put a stencil from Dylusions over and added Graphite Inca Gold with a sponge.

I painted around the leaves with a black pen for better contrast.

Then I put on white Crackle Paint and a little Distress Ink Vintage Photo around the edges.

The image has a great structure and is also self-adhesive!

I framed it with some fabulous lace and ribbons.

I wrapped a die cut heart with red silk paper (glued).

To tone down the red color, I stroked over it with white gesso and removed some of it before it had dried. Then I sponged over it with little black Distress Ink.

Then it was just to continue decorating with flowers, ribbons, feathers and metal corners.

The text I have used is from a K-designs stamp, which I then cut into pieces.

I almost forgot to mention the hanger which is from Melissa Frances.

That's all for today!

Hugs, Birgit
