I seem to be into door hangers lately -- I like that they can be hung from a door or decorative hook and also used as a piece of wall art! This one was made using Spellbinders Labels Eight Nestabilities die that measures approximately 5.50" x 4". I die-cut my base out of good 'ole Craft-A-Board -- I love this stuff! Then I cut this beautiful Graphic 45-Le Romantique 8x8 paper with the same die and adhered the two together.
The Hero Arts Big & Small flower was stamped onto more coordinating peach & green Le Romantique papers (twice) and then easily & quickly cut out using my pinking shears:
A few more straight snips with scissors between the petals and this big flower was done! I colored the flower center with Copic E35 marker and put a large Glue Dot in the center and covered it with Martha Stewart's copper glitter. The petals of both flowers were curled with my fingernail and layered together.
This great Hero Arts sentiment (from the Life Is Not Perfect set) was stamped with Adirondack Espresso ink onto an Inchie Arts Wheat Twinchie Square -- these squares are the same wonderful museum-quality matboard as Inchie Squares, but are 2-inches!
I topped the Twinchie with another piece of the Le Romantique paper that was punched with Martha Stewart Arch Lattice Edger Punch. I also rounded the corners of the Twinchie easily with the 1/2" Corner Chomper. I was about to call this project "done" but then spotted these beautiful Zva crystals in my drawer and they just begged to be used! Good news is that Ellen will be carrying Zva's beautimous bling in the store but the sort of bad news is that they haven't quite arrived yet! So please keep checking back!
To finish this door hanger, I punched holes in the top and tied up some pretty lace.
