Hello! Today I have a Flower Soft project for you. Our challenge this week was to use Orange and Black in our project. To see what the other Flower Soft Design Team members made for this challenge, just check out the Flower Soft Blog.
This challenge worked out pretty well for me because my daughter (who is in college) called and asked me to make her some Halloween decorations for her dorm room. I think this wall hanging will work, don't you?
For the base of my wall hanging, I used the largest die in the Creative Book Pages die set from Spellbinders Paper Arts™. I cut out 2 piece of lightweight chipboard (cereal boxes, LOL) and glued them together. Then I covered them with Posh Black Linen Cardstock. I added layers of Posh White Linen cardstock and patterned paper (Haunted Hallows from Teresa Collins) all cut/embossed from the Creative Book Pages set. The graduated sizes in that die set really work for this wall hanging.
To make the Jack-O-Lantern, I cut/embossed the largest pumpkin in the Nested Pumpkin set from Spellbinders™. Using Flower Soft glue, I drew the eyes/nose/mouth and added Flower Soft Ultra Fine Black. I think it turned out really cute. Here is a close-up of the Jack-O-Lantern.
I actually used Flower Soft glue for this whole project. Liquid Adhesive works great for projects like this. Plus I know that this particular project will be put thru alot and I want it to stay together!
Here are a few more close-ups!
Here you can see the Nested Lacey Pennants I used for my letters. I also used the Lacey Circles to create rosettes out of white cardstock. The letters are stickers that I added some black ink to the edges using a sponge.
That's all for today! Hope you have a great day and rest of the week is good, too. I was excited to get my designer copy of the November CardMaker magazine in the mail last week. I have a Christmas project in the issue. Talk to you soon!
