So, without further ado, here is my Spring Doll Feature: The Spring Doll Door Hanger!

My Spring Doll Door Hanger is made from "Olive", one of the newer doll stamp releases, and she is mounted on  a wooden unfinished triangular banner that I painted with Baby Pink acrylic paint. I then adhered a sheet of Rose Garden printed paper from First Edition papers.  Rubber stamp accents such as bees, peacock feathers, and border was stamped with Sepia brown Archival Ink from Ranger. Olive was also stamped with the brown Archival Ink on a Prima Tag Pad and then cut out and applied to the banner.

I colored her features with Copic markers, added a paper pieced skirt from the Rose Garden paper pad, and adhered her to the banner with 3-D glue dots.  I also added vellum daffodil stickers and dragonflies, along with a tag cut from the Rose Garden paper pad.  A cute printed grosgrain ribbon was tied in two bows, and then used as the hanger loop to hang from any door knob or on a bedroom wall.  I hand wrote the inspirational word "PLAY" to the door hanger to symbolize the child in all of us, using my Posca markers. To top it all off, I added some acrylic stones for bling on the dragonflies and necklace for the doll.
