Hello there crafty friends! I hope you all had a Happy Easter if you celebrated :) I just took down all the Eater decorations and am ready for some Spring decor. I created this small wallhanging for Spring with brand new Chapter 2 Tim Holtz Sizzix dies, mixing them with some of my favorites from Chapter 1. I combined Brushstroke Flowers 1, 2 and 3 along with the Alphanumeric Stretch Lower and Alphanumeric Bold dies.
This project was super easy to create. I got a small wood frame (made to alter for your favorite craft projects) from the craft store, I think this one was about $4 dollars. I painted the inside of the wood frame with Evergreen Bough Distress Paint and the outer frame with Picket Fence Distress Paint and let it dry.
I selected a color palette for my project and cut a bunch of flowers and leaves from Sizzix surfaces felt, glued the pieces with layers and put them aside. I cut the word Spring from the Alphanumeric stretch lower dies from white cardstock backed with adhesive foam for dimension. I also cut the word welcome from the Alphanumeric Bold from black cardstock backed with adhesive foam.
To assemble this piece, I added my foam backed sentiment with Distress Collage Matte Medium, then I arranged the flowers around the frame. When all the pieces were adhered, I replaced the jute that came with the frame with some May Arts twine.
SUPPLIES:
Super project Cheiron! I have never thought to cut the letters like that (with the foam backing). I am going to bet I have some of that foam somewhere in my stash! Need to try!
