Fall At Last framed hanger 🍂

Hi again! I’m always so happy for fall every year — school’s back, the weather is gorgy-porgy after the summer heat, it’s football time again — so I thought I’d create a crackly little fall decor piece, inspired by the leaves and pumpkins in my area these days 🍁 the best!

Let me take you through a few more details about how I created this hanger ⤵️

The Background…

Started with a mini framed panel, Ran mixed media heavystock through the Cracked 3D embossing folder, glued down on the panel and painted with Scorched Timber

Next, used Antiqued Linen paint to go over the raised texture with my finger, followed by a thin watery wash of Caramel alcohol ink

Also cut a few embossed strips for the sides of the panel

 For the top hanger, I assembled a few jump rings, hook chains (minus the hooks) and screw eyes

The Pumpkins…

Cut from the colorize Pumpkin Duo, glued all layers together and painted with Antique linen + Scorched Timber stems

Added a top coat of clear crackle, then once it was dry, I rubbed on some scorched timber and rusty hinge distress crayon into the cracks and layer grooves

The Leaves…

Cut a bunch of leaves from the Funky Foliage die set

Painted branches with scorched timber, leaves with different reds and oranges and greens (Forest Moss, Rustic Wilderness)

Glued the leaves on the branches and coated all with clear crackle

Once dry, added Scorched Timber crayon on top with a brush, then wiped away the extra with a paper towel

The “FALL” Frame + “At Last” Banner…

Painted the small Ideaology frame (I forget what set this is from) with scorched timber to match the rest, then caramel ink

Next, I added mounting dots before cutting a piece of clear acetate to size and gluing behind the frame

Then coated with clear crackle…

Cut FALL letters from the Bold die set, painted with Antiqued Linen, then a coat of clear crackle, then scorched timber crayon, wipe away extra, painted letter edges with scorched timber to give extra definition

The banner is from the Tattered Banners set (folded on the one side to shorten it up), painted with Antique linen and Scorched Timber edges

The “at last” letters are from the Tiny type lower set, painted with Scorched timber and glued down on the banner, then all coated with a thin layer of clear crackle

The Finishing Touches…

Inked a couple of wooden rulers and added to the top and bottom of my panel

Then glued down the small frame, banner, pumpkins (with leaves) + a few other Ideaology bits before adding excelsior shavings (inked with walnut stain) and tucking in the foliage

Ok, well that is my project, thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you are enjoying this fall season and are able to cozy up with loved ones☺️🧣🍁

Happy crafting! x Erin
