Swedish House Crafts - Guest Spot

Hello, my friends!

I know it hasn't been very long since I was on the DT of Swedish House Crafts.
Today I am back with a Guest DT post for them! 
Maybe they missed me? ;o)

So I have a fun project to share with you!
I have combined a sweet Paper Nest Dolls image,
with some fun Laserowe Love products,
to create this fun hanging.
I think it would be a lovely "Baby Sleeping" sign!

I began with this sweet Hippo stamp from the Paper Nest Dolls - Hippos Stamp Set.

 I stamped it onto watercolour paper, using Ranger Archival Ink.

 I then used a variety of watercolour pencils, along with a water brush, to colour it. 

I set it aside to dry.

Then I moved on to the Laserowe Love - MDF - Bookmark D. 

I thought this would be the perfect base for my little hanging. 

I used a pretty paper from the Laserowe Love - Lily Flower Collection, 

and covered the front and the back of the MDF piece.

 I inked around it with a pretty turquoise ink. 

Next, I took the Laserowe Love - MDF - Frame Banner, using the front frame piece only. 

I covered the front with Stampendous Embossing Ink, 

then sprinkled it with Beach Cruiser Embossing Powder from Sparkle 'N Sprinkle. 

I then heat set it with my heat gun. 

I then repeated the process once more to get a really nice thick coating. 

Then I die-cut the coloured image in a circle to fit behind the embossed frame, 

and adhered it in place.

 I then adhered the framed piece onto the base piece. 

I added some pretty turquoise pearls; five along the top, and three on the bottom. 

Finally, I tied a pretty yellow ribbon into a double-looped bow, 

and added it to the top of the embossed frame.

 I also added another yellow ribbon loop to the top of the base piece to serve as a hanger. 

Now it can be hung on the wall, the door, or even from the door knob.
