Flower Power at the ATP Exchange


The new challenge over at Artist Trading Post Exchange is called , 'Flower Power'.
We are asked by  Ruth     to bring some summer fun into our projects
 and we must use some hand made flowers.


I began this challenge by painting  my base tag with  white Gesso, then spraying it with Vibrant Turquoise Dylusions ink spray.
Cut out my flowers using a Die- Sire Quilling die  then spent a good while rolling up the flowers.


Next I used  my Tim Holtz Doily stencil and some Grunge paste to add some texture, When dry  I rubbed the pattern over with Treasure Gold, White Fire. The stamped images came from a Paper Artsy Jofy set. 
I did fussy cut the flower and leaves  and then coloured  them over with  Shimmer paints.





Here are my finished flowers in all their summer glory. As you will have seen in an earlier photo they were cut from patterned paper. The Dylusions spray inks I used were Lemon Zest and Gold Mica
Please pop over  and see what we have all been making. 
I have highlighted the products available from the Artist Trading Post our sponsor, who is kindly offering a £10 store voucher to the challenge winner

Thank you for taking time to stop by, all the comments you leave for me are appreciated.
