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
