Belles n Whistles have started a new fortnightly challenge where you must use a BnW stamp. The lovely and talented Kathy has set a challenge to make your own flowers which I love to do so I finally inked up my Sunshine & Apples stamp which shamefully has been sat in my drawer for about 3 months without being used (blushes). I have used the sketch from Truly Scrumptious although I'm too late to enter it - I got all the dates confused LOL. I am also entering it into Creative Inspirations challenge who want to see distressing. The gorgeous papers are MME Bella Bella and I've distressed them with Walnut Stain distress ink.
I have coloured my image with copics and the edges are inked with bundled sage distress ink. I have also used my new nesties - at last scalloped circles without punching out millions of flower petals LOL!!
I made my flowers using Tim Holtz tattered florals die from some scraps of paper. I have sprayed them with glimmer mist and stamped some grunge stamps from Stempelglede with bundled sage distress ink. I then inked the edges with antique linen before crumpling them up. The large fern leaf is a Leone Em punch and the small ones McGill punch.
Here is a close up. You can see I have also cut some tulle with the largest flower die and layered it between the paper flowers and I have also made my own pearl and crystal centre with assorted gems and pearls from the Hobby House.
