Funky Door Hanger Using Leonie's Collection


Morning, I hope you enjoyed seeing some of my other designs over the last few days. Today I am sharing the Door Handle sample I made for the launch of Leonie Pujol's new collection.


Once again I forgot to take step by step photos, so my only option was to make it again to show you. I have to admit that while making this i had a disaster with the masks, my spray was faulty and by the time I realised that water was pouring out it was too late. So I have altered the final step and used the stencil to add the two words rather than the original design. I have included both photos at the end. I think I like both ways.


I painted the MDF hanger with 2 coats of white gesso. Once dry I stamped my sentiment in place, I used a sentiment stamp from Bee Crafty.



Next, I positioned my masks, using Crafters Companion Stick n Spray (re-positionable adhesive spray). Then I added my stamps in the areas I wanted. I stamped around the small art stencil with solid stamps as I wanted the inside to just be the ink.
















Then I masked of the mid section with copier paper and washi tape. I wanted this area to remain white to highlight the sentiment.


I then used Pebeo Drawing Gum to mask all of the open stamps before sprinkling Brushos across the surface. I used Violet,Scarlet,Cobalt Blue and Emerald Green. Before I spritzed this with water to activate the colours I added yellow Ink spray in a couple of places.

I allowed this to dry, but as I mentioned before, the water completely ruined the masked words and therefore I decided to stencil the same words using Indigo Blu Sleeping Beauty and Vodka Martini.

On the original I used Leonie's bubble stamp inside the words and coloured with alcohol markers, For this I used the same stamp but coloured using a white Sharpie marker.


Lastly with both Door Hangings, I removed the drawing Gum and used alcohol markers to colour them. Here are both finished projects.















Thank you so much for visiting my blog, I hope that you have enjoyed this step by step. Please stop by again soon. Take care xx

  1. Not bad is it for one that didn't go as planned,the second one that is. They are both great but prefer the first I think. Mainly because the colours are lighter and brighter. Like the metallics in the second one though. Shame you had to do another one again,good for us though because we get to know about the steps,so thank you for all your time Nick it is appreciated.
    Thank you for sharing. Nicola x

    1. Nicola, I am glad you enjoyed the step by step. Such a shame for the little mishap. I do agree I like the more vibrant colour. It's a bit adventurous for me as I don't normally do this type. But I thought it was time to give it a try. xx
