Happy Thursday!
I've been dreaming of Spring arriving here on the West Coast of Canada as it has been raining and dreary the last week and a half. So, for today's project, I created this Bloom Wall Hanging. To create my wall hanging, I've used a variety of stamps from Charlene as well as dies from Els van de Burgt Studio. You'll want to read below as I have a full tutorial on how to recreate my Bloom Wall Hanging at home.
To start, die cut a 3 1/2" Stitched Fishtail out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Sprinkle Raspberry, Coral and Rosebud Magenta Nuance randomly on the banner. Spritz the banner wth water. Dry the banner with a heat tool.
Next, you'll need the grid stamp from the Make a Wish stamp set. Apply Emboss It Ink to the stamp and stamp randomly on the banner. Reapply ink to the stamp as needed and stamp four more times. Sprinkle Molten Dimensions - Black Magic Embossing Powder over the stamped areas. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. Distress the edges of the banner. Ink the edges of the banner using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
Die cut a 4" Stitched Fishtail out of a book page. Distress the edges of the banner. Ink the edges of the banner using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
Die cut a 3/4" Stitched Fishtail out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Cut the fishtail down to 3". Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the Bloom sentiment from the A Field of Flowers stamp set and stamp onto the fishtail. Distress the edges of the fishtail. Ink the edges of the fishtail using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
From the Garden Flowers stamp set, you'll need the seven leaf leaf. Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the stamp and stamp onto a piece of watercolour cardstock. Reapply the ink to the stamp and stamp on the same piece of cardstock. Colour the two leafs in using Scribble Sticks 1 & 2 and a waterbrush. Dry the leafs. Fussy cut the leafs out. Ink the edges of the leafs using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
Choose a large flower from the Garden Flowers stamp set and choose one of the other flowers from the A Field of Flowers stamp set. Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the large flower and stamp onto a piece of watercolour cardstock. Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the other flower and stamp onto a piece of watercolour cardstock. Reapply Jet Black Archival Ink to the other flower and stamp onto the same piece of watercolour cardstock. Colour the flowers in using Scribble Sticks 1 & 2 and a waterbrush. Dry the flowers. Fussy cut the flowers out. Ink the edges of the flowers using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
Adhere the 3 1/2" banner to the 4" banner.
Adhere the bloom fishtail 2" from the bottom and 1 1/4" from the left of the 4" banner. Adhere one of the leaves in the top left corner of the 3 1/2" banner. Adhere the other leaf in the bottom middle of the 3 1/2" banner.
Use foam squares to adhere the flowers as desired in amongst the leaves and fishtail.
To finish the wall hanging, punch two holes at the top of the banner and tie a piece of twine through the holes, to create the hanging portion of the wall hanging.
Here are a few closeup photos of the finished Wall Hanging.
