YAY, I finally managed to have a little me time play.
I decided to combine a couple of challenges.
PaperArtsy's 'Inspired By' challenge
and Country View Crafts 'How does your garden grow' theme
I have been totally inspired with Sue Carrington over on the PaperArtsy blog this week, I've loved each project and couldn't decide with inspired me more so for my piece I combined elements from them all.
There's some grunge paste, stencilling, bumping, corrugated card, lace, pins.. you name it, I added it.
I used 'irish cream' & 'mocha mousse' for the canvas with a spritz of watered down 'old gold'.
I stamped everything onto black card, The small flowers are using 'mermaid, 'south pacific' & 'blood orange'. The big flower was also stamped onto black but it all looked a bit dark, so I just covered it with 'irish cream' and stamped in 'blood orange' and it made the arrangement look 10 times better.
For the edge I stamped the little sun from the 'Lynne Perrella' 005 plate.
{there is also 1 more leaf that I found after I had photographed the piece, so I stuck it in to fill the gap on the left}
Hope you like seeing it as much as I liked making it.
Stay Inky
