I used Maja Design papers which are my favourite. For the hanging I created a bauble shape by hand. I inked the papers, then distressed them before sewing all around them on my sewing machine.

I used cardboard from a cereal box as the bottom as this gives it more strength and  I then backed each paper onto 400gsm cardstock to give it a good weight. I didn't want a flimsy wall hanging.... it needs to last.

For the trees I used Magnolia Birch die..... I cut them out using the same paper as my first layer which was Maja Design 'For Frosty Mornings" from the I Wish collection. I inked the edges then brushed on white structure paint to give them a textured wintery look.

I also did the same to the Mistletoe, I think they look so pretty like that.

The image is Magnolia's Snowy Cottage and I coloured it with distress ink refills and added Stardust Stickles to all the snow and white enamel accents paint to the snow drops.

I then cut the image out using Stitched Rectangles die. You can also see I added Jute in the top right corner that is just peeking out, this was cut with a Magnolia die.

I cut out Mistletoe from the 6x6 pad with the Magnolia die in the same colours to match the card and added structure paint to add texture and a wintery look.

The little postcard I added is from the same Maja Design 'I Wish' collection 6x6 pad. I added hessian, bark stars with gesso on and lace, ribbon and waxed cord to add a few different textures to the hanging. I also added bits of gesso to the flowers to complete the wintery look.
