I Chose Art

Hello Crafty Friends

It's time for the New Challenge over at

Creative Artiste Mixed Media 

and I thought I would do something a little different.

I brought back a door hanger from a hotel I stayed at

while in Dublin UK and as it hangs on the door to my play room

I decided to do a template of it and make it a bit more 'me'

hence I went with a Scottish Theme with the Thistle and colours.

Of course I added a few dragonflies
 as I love the Outlander Series.

  Here's how it started with a template from this this -  to finish like this!

Started my background with 

Lindy's Sprays and Powders

using the same mediums for my thistle die cut.

then cutting out the Italian Flourish doily from Cherry Lynn

to add to the side and coloured with Lindy's Spray.

My dragonflies are from Visible Image 

as is the words 'I Choose'

'Art' Word from That's Crafty. Added some stamping from

Visible Image around the edges and touches of stenciling

with transparent matt texture paste

 adding colour with Art Alchemy Heather Hills Wax.

Stenciled the background with

white texture paste from Tim's Speckles.

Popped my thistle after adding sprinkles of

Heather Flower Soft on the head and 

falling down to the bottom.

Finished with a variegated purple bow.
