I created this wall hanging on Bo Bunny paper that I bought last year (I don't remember the name of it). It's heavy on distressing & inking. I used a sponge to white wash some of the background and then 'second generation' stamped some sentiments & floral images over it using the stamp set 'Venezia Correspondence' by Stampington & Company, once the paper dried I took the same sponge and added some Tattered Angels Mist Spray in a swirling motion so it has a rolling cloud effect. I distressed the edges of the wall hanging and inked with Tim Holtz - Distress Ink - Vintage Photo first, then Chipped Sapphire, Walnut Stain and lastly a light brush of Black Soot (for the rest of the items I used all but the Vintage Photo Distress Inks). I sketched out the hot air balloon on my Bo Bunny paper and cut it out in stripes. I sketched the clouds & birds on plain white cardstock and then distressed the edges and inked them heavily. I stamped the clouds & birds with Stampin Up's French Script stamp, used 3D pop dots and bent the sentiment up a little to give it a 3D effect. I inked the fabric with my Prima - Color Bloom Spray. I then highlighted with white gesso here and there, and finally, the brads came in a gift box from my amazing sister. This is my first completed craft project! I hope you like it!
