Hello everyone!

Hope you are all fine and not too stressed about all the things that should be 
done before Christmas.

Hochanda some time ago, and it comes with a tutorial.

I have used Illusionary Artists / France Papillon stamp and stencils, 
and DecoArt Media products.


Welcome over to France´s blog HERE to find the tutorial and 
thank you so much for stopping by!

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New 2019!

Shroom Sweet Shroom, hanger

Hello everyone!

Today I share a little wall hanging made with That´s Crafty!
I wanted to make a simple, but bold and graphic, design...


Here´s what I did:


I paint one large greyboard tag with black gesso. 
When dry I stamp and heat emboss with white powder.


I colour in the images using Posca pens, and also trace some mushrooms 
using the Dinky stencil. I paint a stick from my garden with white gesso and glue it 
on the top of the tag. My hanger is finished!



That´s Crafty! products used:
Gesso, black and white


My youngest daughter really liked this, and I think it could be a nice
wallhanging in a kids room :)
Thanks for stopping by today!
Hugs, Melina

"Happy town", hanging using the Shroom Town stamp set

Hello!

Today I share this happy rainbow town wallhanging.
I made it for a That´s Crafty! show on Hochanda a while back.
I have used the Shroom Town stamp set to create this little scene.


I have used That´s Crafty own brand products, and you´ll find links to
all of them below.

Here´s a brief description of what I did:
I use modeling paste, stencils, paints and sprays to create backgrounds 
on the round surface and the large tag.
I do a second generation stamping onto the greyboard matches and colour them 
in with Multi surface paints. When dry I stamp with black ink on top.
The background row of houses I stamp on watercolour paper and 
colour in using Flat Matte sprays.
I glue everything in place and use a stick from my garden as a hanger.


That´s Crafty products used:
Dinky stencil tc115, tc116, tc117, tc119

Thanks for stopping by today!
Hugs, Melina
