Good morning! It is the first Monday of July and that means it is time for the Crafty Secret's Design Team Challenge and linky party!
We are full swing into summer, so I wanted to make a little summer wall hanging I could display in my kitchen. I used this darling image from the Crafty Secret's Seasonal image booklet
Scroll on down for a step by step tutorial on how this little number was made! ;)
I don't know about you, but I have a ton of these chip board coasters! So I decided to them to use here by modge podging some Crafty Secret's designer paper to it.
I happened to have two of the Seasonal booklets, so I took the image I wanted from both.
Once your coaster is dry, sand the edges a bit to distress them.
Fussy cut one of the images.
Add glossy accents to the image.
Let the image dry completely. Once it is dry, add a bit more of the glossy accents to her hair bow. Sprinkle with glitter and add a rhinestone to the center.
And because I can't leave well enough alone, add more glossy accents to the bottom of the uncut image. Sprinkle it with sand.
Add gold glitter glue to the edges.
I printed seashells from the Digital Mermaids set. I inked the edges a bit, added glossy accents, and sprinkled them with glitter.
Add a ribbon handle, and a strip of brown designer paper.
Put it all together to create your dimensional summer wall hanging!

***Update***
Cortney came home from the hospital yesterday. Her graft appears to have taken, but there is a small area in the center that is very yellow. The doctor is a bit concerned about it and it needs to be watched carefully. Today we head back to wound care to have the wound VAC put back on for the next week. Please continue to pray that it takes. I can't even allow myself to think that it won't.
Thank you all for your kind words and prayers.
