Clear Scraps - Home Decor Hanging

Hello, my friends!

I'm back with a new project share for Clear Scraps!

When I recently saw this Bette Midler quote,
I knew I had to put it on a hanging for my daughter.
It's perfect for her, and her birthday is on the 22nd.

I began by pulling out my favorite Clear Scraps stencil, 
the 6" Doily Mat Stencil.
I decided to make it for my daughter's dressing room,
which is decorated in black, white, and gold.
I stenciled this fabulous design on a 6" square of black chipboard,
using some Sparks paint from Prima.
I chomped the corners, and then inked around the edges with the same gold. 

Here's what I made:

I printed the quote out on my computer,
 die-cut it to fit inside the stenciled doily,
and adhered it in place.

Then I decided that I wanted to cover it with acrylic.
I cut a piece of acrylic to measure 6 1/2" x 6 1/2".
This was cut from the 12 x 12 Acrylic Sheet.
I chomped the corners with a different design.
Then I sponged with the same Sparks paint,
on the 1/4" that extends beyond the chipboard.

I positioned the acrylic just where I wanted it,

and inserted large eyelets into both layers. 

I strung a metallic gold cord through them for a hanger.

For a final touch, 

I adhered some beautiful Swarovski crystals into each corner.

These are left over from my jewelry making days,

and happen to be a favorite of my daughters.

This project was a little bit tricky to photograph.

I wish you could see all the gorgeous sparkle in person!
