One Stop Craft Challenge #68 - Wall Hanging

Gina has set us an interesting challenge at One Stop Craft Challenge this week. She is asking us to create a wall hanging.

I did begin working on a canvas based collage which was coming along well, but I couldn't get it finished to my satisfaction in time for this challenge. Luckily, I had also been experimenting with customising picture frames, so I came up with what you can see above. My love of cupcakes is well known, and I could just see this taking pride of place in my kitchen. Here's how I made it:

I painted the plain wooden picture frame with 'soft apple' paint. After it was dry, I stamped my images and text on (both from my Inkadinkado 'Eat Cupcakes' collection), and coloured the cupcakes in with my ProMarkers. I stapled the ribbon onto the back of the frame to hang it by, and cut some cupcake paper to size to fill the frame (I may, at a later date, have a very unflattering picture of me stuffing my face with cupcake to put in there!)

Take care
