Canvas Flowers


I wanted to join in with the current Fusion challenge after seeing this gorgeous inspiration photo:


I love the paper flowers, the colour scheme and the woodgrain background.  Instead of using the suggested sketch, I used the sketch from CAS(E) This Sketch.  Just tilt your head to one side.


I scored a piece of card then swooshed it with Pumice Stone and Black Soot Distress inks to get my weatherboard background.  I cut the flowers from my supply of canvas using the Tim Holtz Tattered Flowers die set.  It cut really cleanly but I scuffed the flowers up a little bit for a bit more dimension.  As I've used dry embossing, I'm entering it into Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, Emboss It.


And I've coloured the boards with ink, so I'm entering it into Seize The Birthday with toppings, colouring.


The stamps are from STAMPlorations Vignette Chevrons and Arrows.

    Well, Shirley, I think you have mastered your dislike of sketches! Your background is to die for - it looks like a photo, it is so realistic! The canvas pale yellow bloom are the perfect touch!

    Wait. You made your distressed wood? I had to go take a second and third look, it's that good!! I was just impressed with the canvas flower and overall design. Then you told us about the wood ... holy smokes! And, btw, I think your card follows the Fusion sketch too if you shift some of the elemetns, especially with that horizontal element across the card. Thanks so much for joining the Fusion Challenge!
