This seems like a good day to think about spring and Morgan's Artworld has a new challenge starting today. Our theme is "Add Flowers" and that certainly fits right in with spring. One of the ways I know spring is arriving is the advent of my irises peeking out of the long green leaves on their plants and the blossoms bursting forth on the almond and apricot trees.
I chose this image (Fae 37) because of all the spring flowers in it and it just seemed to shout "Spring!" :-D
The image is colored with chalks, applied with a cotton swab. The shading is done with polychromos pencils. I matted the image and decided that it called for a round card so used one of my QuicKutz dies to cut the card shape, then added the image piece.
I dug through my stash, found the purple layer of flower petals, then pulled out a bit of sheer green lace to make the second layer of petals. That was done by hand sewing a loose running stitch along one edge of the lace and then pulling on the thread until the petal shape was achieved. I sewed the two layers together, adding a clear bead to the center to hide the running stitch.
The sentiment is printed, hand cut, and matted with the same CS as the image mat.

That's it for me today. I do hope you're going to dig out some flowers and come play with us this fortnight. This is my last post as a DT member for Morgan's but I'm looking forward to being inspired by what you submit. Happy Stamping. NanaConnie
