Good morning,

Happy New Year. Today we launch a new challenge over at

Creative Artistes Mixed Media Challenge

The theme is Anything Goes with a twist – use chipboard.

For my project I created a heart wall hanging which was given to my friend at her wedding on 31^st December.

I cut two hearts from chipboard and stuck them together to give it more strength. I painted the edges with Gesso, then added a layer of script paper.

I ruched alternate layers of burlap and lace, then added the chipboard letters and flowers.

On the back was the script paper available here and a sentiment cut out using a Spellbinders Oval.
