For my tutorial today I made an autumn inspired Wall Hanging.

 I started by printing out the Tangled Maple Leaf digi onto Neenah white cardstock and coloured it up with Spectrum Noir Markers and Colorista Markers by Crafter's Companion.  

I used the following colours from each marker range:

Spectrum Noir Markers

 GB1, GB4 and TN5

Colorista Markers

Sandstone and Rose Red

Tip:  I like to scribble my colours next to my image so I can plan which colours I want to use and where.

 

Prepare 3 mats for the wall hanging by cutting two panels from black cardstock measuring 6 inches by 9 inches and 7 inches by 10 inches and one white panel measuring 6.25 inches by 9.5 inches.

I fussy cut out the leaf leaving a narrow white border so the leaf would stand out nicely from the black background and then adhered the leaf to the first black panel using PVA tacky glue. 

I then mat and layered the black card onto white and again onto black card.   I used red ribbon for the hanger and inserted the ribbon ends and adhered them in place between the black and white panels using double sided-tape. 

 

I used Serif CraftArtist2 software to create the wording and printed out the text onto Neenah white cardstock.  I cut out each word separately and adhered them to the wall hanging with tacky glue. 

Materials used:

LeighSBDesigns Tangled Maple Leaf digi stamp
Spectrum Noir Markes

 Spectrum Noir Colorista Markers
Serif CraftArtist2 software
Red Ribbon
Black and white cardstock

PVA Tacky Glue

Double sided sticky tape

Thanks for stopping by to see my project today!
Happy Stamping!
