This week I was inspired by T!ms 12 days of Christmas
day 4 tag but made it in to a Santa stop here door hanger.
I started by covering my
wooden door hanger with
Pink Paislee Santas list patterned paper.
I inked it with and then splattered and spritzed on water to give a nice mottled
grungey look.
I used
Viva decor Inka Gold on the wooden edges which I found
easiest to apply with a semi dry baby wipe.
Th ruffle on the bottom is made with pleated
tissue tape - I put a piece of double sided tape on to the base first then pleated the tape along it.
My lace was coloured by putting
distress stain on to my nonstick craft sheet, adding a little water to soften the colour and squishing the lace in to it until I was happy with the coverage.
I glued it down with
Claudine's matte medium.I ran a piece of
acetate through my big shot with the TH snowflake border embossing folder and cut around the
snowflakes.
I attached this with a little DST along the edge that would be hidden by my embellishments.
My snowman and snowflakes were cut from
grunge board then painted with
pearl acrylic paint dabber.I coated the snowman with
Rock Candy crackle glaze and left it to dry
thoroughly , when dry I highlighted the cracks with distress inks.
I added the snowflakes with
glossy accents and added buttons to the centres.
I tied some scraps of ribbon and fabric round his neck for a scarf and dangled some buttons strung together with
jump rings from it, then attached him to the hanger with foam tape to add some dimension.
My little sign was hand written on to the back of an
journalling ticket and pinned on with a
memo pin The last thing I did was smear on lashings of
Rock Candy distress stickles to give it a lovely sparkly frosty feel.
Have fun,
hugs'n'snogs,
