Ophelia Wall Hanging

Good Morning folks, and it certainly is, here on the West Coast of Scotland.  I cannot believe our holiday begins on Sunday.  So this will be my last post till I return, hopefully revitalized and replenished if this heatwave continues.
This was a Wall Hanging I made for my dear friend Anne ( redanne) for her Birthday. We became friends just after Anne started her blog, and share lots of similarities in our life too.  She absolutely loved it and has kindly allowed me to show you what I have done.  I started by using one of my recycled corrugated frames and painted it with gesso, then I added weathered wood and antique linen distress paint. When dry I used some treasured gold and patina wax to age it a little. The stamp I used was from Stampsmith called Ophelia and its such a stunning.stamp.  I die cut a gold frame from SB Enchanted labels 28 before adding my image at the back. The corners I tarnished a bit too, before adding my handmade roses and flowers that were carefully distressed very lightly with Barn Door DI. The leafy sprays are from Cheery Lynn. I think Ophelia just loved being surrounded with flowers.  The chain was bought from a bead shop in the town where we are going on holiday., so another visit there is in the offing.   Hopefully I have covered everything to let you know how I made my hanging.   Keep Well my Friends and I'll see you all when I return.  I'll try to comment whilst I'm away.    Loads of Hugs.  Rita xxx
