Fabric and lace wall hanging

I made the fabric and lace wall hanging for the Gecko Galz Image Challenge  September 2021 on their Blog.

To start I used Art Canvas Inkjet Art Paper to print the image of the ladies and also the background design as well. Both the image of the ladies and the background design are from the Gecko Galz.

I cut to size a piece of batting and then adhered to the canvas background using Beacon 3 in 1 glue. I also adhered batting behind the image of the ladies. For the back of the wall hanging, I used an ivory coloured lace fabric and around the edges a cream colour lace trim.

To decorate around the image of the ladies I added 3 different narrow laces and then went around the image again using an ivory colour flat back pearl trim.

The background design has pretty purple flowers on it and they matched the image nicely. Along both sides of the wall hanging, I used a narrow gathered lace in cream and then adhered the pearl trim on top of that. At the top of the wall hanging, I decorated using 2 different laces and added small flower embellishments on top. 

For the bottom of the wall hanging, I used a pretty wide scalloped lace in ivory and then a lilac colour flower lace trim, I also added ivory flat back pearls. At the top two corners of the image, I used the same purple flower embellishments as I had used at the top of the wall hanging

Decorated Note Book

To start I used a shop-bought plain portrait style notebook. I made a cover front and back using a brown kraft card and adhered it onto the original cover to add strength. Using a sheet of tea-dyed paper I lightly coloured over a scroll design of stencil and adhered that onto the front cover, I also used a piece of lace fabric in a cream colour and adhered that on top of the front cover. 

Using a sheet of white paper cut to size I randomly stamped a script design onto the paper and when dry I lightly coloured the paper with Distress Oxide ink so it will match the project. I used a pretty die cut that I again coloured with a Distress Oxide ink pad and adhered that down in the centre of the stamped paper. 

The image of the ballerina is from a digital collage sheet that I had purchased from the Gecko Galz Etsy store that I printed onto white photo paper, then I mounted that onto brown kraft card stock and then adhered them down on top of the die-cut. An ivory colour narrow crochet trim I placed around the edges of the layer of paper and added a flat back pearl trim on the edges of those

At the top and bottom of the front cover, I added a wide crochet trim and I also added a pearl effect flower trim at the top. The flowers did not match the project so I lightly coloured them with Distress Oxides ink pads and arranged the flowers to the bottom right-hand corner of the image. I added a gold-coloured corner peel-off on the top left-hand corner of the image. To balance the look a small pearl was added to the top right and bottom left of the image
