Mine is probably a bit of a cheat - I just couldn't think of what I could alter so I bought some plain wooden door hangers... plus lots of other stuff that I'll hopefully get round to altering soon lol, turned out to be an expensive challenge for me! I painted my hanger with Eco Green acrylic paint in 'butternut', then when it was dry I added some 'shabby shutters' distress ink around the edges, and stamped some flourishes (also from Eco Green) and dusted them with cosmic shimmer - the flourishes are actually a shimmery green but they look more silver in the photos. Added some gingham ribbon from my stash.
The image is a Gorjuss Girl - one of my many unused stamps. I'm glad I've finally used her, I think she's lovely. I've coloured her with a combination of promarkers, flexmarkers and koh-i-noor pencils on my new favourite 'make it colour' cardstock from Quixotic Paperie... oh I love this stuff, one of those things that really did live up to the hype so I'm glad I've tried it :o)
I'm entering my hanger for the following challenges:
- CES Challenges - totally gorjuss/ pretty girls (2nd entry)
- DYSU - swirls
- Fussy & Fancy - try a new technique (altering something, acrylic paints, stamping on wood...)
- Simon Says - anything goes
Walking backwards and forwards to school is proving to be a bit of a challenge! I did a total of 3hrs walking yesterday... it feels like such a waste of my day lol. Although I must admit in the morning it's quite pleasant - the boys enjoy it and are happy kicking up leaves and looking for conkers. The afternoon walk is a nightmare though, as they're tired after a long day and it was so hot yesterday too - Dex had a tantrum before we'd even got going and then sobbed and moaned all the way home... such fun... can't wait to get my car back!
