Gifts are so special in our house and the boys almost always ask for the girl birthday parties they get invited to, that I make them a gift. This is a door hanger that I made for one birthday we went to. I asked the colors of her room and created a hanger she can put on the door or wall. First I stamped out Abigail using Letters in Blossom onto classic white cardstock using memento tuxedo black ink. I colored the name using copic collections true blue, green grass and buttercup. I layered the name panel onto Color Made Easy Collections True Blue and Sunflower. For the base of the hanger I actually use cardboard that is the hard backing in paper packs that I cut down to the size width and depth that I desire. In this case it is about 11 inches long by 5 inches wide. I had some Stampin UP paper from gosh knows how long ago that matched perfect to my colors. Thought a fun little spellbinders trim to the ends would look nice and then my flowers.
These rolled flowers are fantastic and well.... I did not make these. ha! They were a gift from Pat, however she has a fabulous easy peasy tutorial on how to make them HERE. Then a little bit of the flourishes pearls to tie it together. I really like how this turned out and she loved it as well.
