I have something a little different today, it's not a card. It's a cute little gift hanger. I love to leave little gifts for friends and family and leaving something hanging from a door knob or the knob on a desk is fun.
I started with a cardboard tube and then covered it in an old dictionary page. I followed that up with a little acrylic cream paint dry brushed all over and then a little distress ink over that. I added the beautiful Deep Red French Candy Label stamp that I had colored using a pencil and some odorless mineral spirits and more distress ink. I then cut the label out and popped it up on a die cut. Finally a touch of lavender Stickles and it was finished.
I added lots of pretty embellishments; lace, die cuts, paper flowers, pearl stems and odd bits and pieces and added some old floral wire as a hanger.
So now that my little gift hanger is finished I just have to find the right filling and hang it up on a friends door knob.
