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
