Bookie door hanger

Craftie Jellie

This matches the card I posted yesterday. I used two saturated canary digis to show the bookhead in and out (at I library I’ve decided!!). I created the background to the digis using Craft Artist.
I sanded the wooden blank edges and coloured them with distress inks and then stuck on Tim Holtz dictionary pages. I then resanded the edges and coloured them with distress ink.

I coloured the digis with Pro and flexmarkers and highlighted with pearlescent ink. I used glossy accents on the eyes and lips.

I used ribbons from clothing and buttons to attach the base card.  I punched two circles of the Tim Holtz paper and attached them together with foam pads with the writing facing inwards. I made the heart paper using Craft Artist.

 This is the other side.

I made the flowers and leaves using punches and then coloured and added gems in the centre.

It took me a long time but I love the end result.

    That’s a cute little door hanger, and what an unusual project! Thanks for your comment on my blog. I had to revamp the post about the vintage backgrounds yesterday because for some reason all the pictures had disappeared (blasted blogger…) and when I re-uploaded it, it went up with yesterday’s date! It’s back in January 2011 where it belongs now, though. Glad you liked it!

    this is a really cool project, the door hanger looks fantastic. I love the main image and the way you have embellished it. All the effort was certainly worth it.
