Hello! Next month I shall be celebrating living in my home for 26 years, I love my home and what better way to celebrate the anniversary than by making a lolly stick hanging.

What I did

I started with 6 large lolly sticks and applied texture sand paste through parts of the Daisy Frame stencil, then without any priming with gesso, I painted the sticks red, using my fingers I added grey paint followed by white to the stenciled flowers. I used an ATCoin stamp for the flourishy background. I stamped the houses and hearts on white card and coloured using distress inks. Once everything was glued in place I added some washi tape from my stash and some black paint splats and silver chrome pen dots. To finish I added a little text, my house number and highlights to the windows with white gesso. Finally some white ribbon to hang.
