New Elizabeth Craft Designs Release! "Beautiful" mixed media

Hello Crafty Friends!

What an exciting week: Elizabeth Craft Designs has introduced the new A Way With Words collection!

The first 11 items are Suzanne Cannon's designed dies while the next 7 are stencils...yay!

My first project using the new stencils was the "Beautiful" mixed media wall hanging.  From the bottom up it had a chipboard base, white corrugated board and a mixed media background.  The background was created using various green, blue and grey Dylusions sprays.  After drying the Swirly Flouris stencil and Faber-Castell's Glass Bead Glitter Gel were used.  It was cut to size and Distress Paint in Picket Fence applied along the edges.  The background was adhered to the corrugated board using strong liquid adhesive.

Next was the Beautiful die.  (Gorgeous!!)  It die cut 100 pound white card stock.  In the center of the die cut I adhered 1/4" thick double sided foam and along the outer edges of the die strong liquid adhesive.

Isn't the die lovely?

Two layers of sheer lacing was added to the bottom of the project.

Gem and frosted half pearls were added throughout.

Several pieces of ribbon were tied for the hanging and the project was complete.

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you enjoyed seeing the new release collection and the project!

Have a happy, crafty day!
Big Hugs,
