Dream Big Wall Hanging

  Happy Thursday!

I'm excited to be sharing a sneak peek with you of some of the new dies from the Paper Flower Collection. Today's project is a Dream Big Wall Hanging perfect for any area of your home. To create my wall hanging, I've used a variety of new dies from the Paper Flower Collection, Els van de Burgt Studio and stamps from Sue Smith. You'll want to read below as I have a full tutorial on how to recreate my wall hanging at home.


Choose some of your favourite patterned paper. I used the Bloom collection from Graphic 45. Choose two pieces of coordinating patterned paper. Die cut a 4 1/2" Stitched Fishtail out of one of the patterned papers. Die cut a 4" Stitched Fishtail out of the second piece of patterned paper. Distress the edges of both fishtails. Ink the edges of the fishtails using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


Choose another piece of coordinating patterned paper and die cut a 3 3/4" Stitched Circle. Die cut a 3 1/4" Stitched Circle out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. From the Hello stamp set, you'll need the Dream Big sentiment. Apply Emboss It Ink to the sentiment and stamp in the middle of the 3 1/4" circle. Sprinkle Gothic Black Modern Gilding Powders over the stamped sentiment. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. Distress the edges of both circles. Ink the edges of the circles using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


From the Leaves & Branches Die, die cut one of the leafs twice out of a piece of Olive Twist Soft Finish Cardstock. Ink the edges of the leaves using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


The next four steps use the Florals 6 die.

Die cut the large leaf three times out of either a green patterned paper or a piece of green cardstock. Ink the edges of the leaves using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


Die cut the small flower with the larger hole in the middle five times out of White Soft Finish Cardstock.


Die cut the centres for the flowers once out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. You'll need a total of three centres.


Die cut the medium flower three times, the small flower three times and the extra small flower six times out of a dark purple patterned paper or purple cardstock or coordinating paper that goes with the patterned paper you've used. Shape all the flowers as desired. Ink the edges of the flowers using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


Adhere the 4" Stitched Fishtail to the 4 1/2" Stitched Fishtail.


Adhere the dream big circle to the middle of the patterned paper circle. Use foam squares to adhere the patterned paper circle 1" from the right and 1/4" from the top of the 4" fishtail.


Adhere the all the leaves as desired on the right hand side of the Dream Big circle.


Adhere your flowers together. For each flower, you'll need a medium flower, a small flower, two extra small flowers and a centre. 


Use foams squares to adhere the flowers around the Dream Big circle and making sure that they cover the bottom of the leaves. 


Adhere the five white flowers as desired in amongst the large flowers and leaves.


To finish the wall hanging, punch two holes at the top of the fishtails. Tie a piece of white twine through the holes to create the hanging part of your wall hanging.


Here are a few closeup photos of the finished wall hanging.
