I've got some improvised flowers for you today. I'm entering the challenge at Uniko Studio, where the theme is Hello Spring and this is the colour board:
The challenge at City Crafter is Easter or Spring
I'm playing stretch-a-sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch again:
And the challenge at Simon Says Monday Challenge is No Rules - Anything Goes.
I stamped the large circle stamp three times with Versamark, then stamped the stems using the row of circles stamp. I cut a length of it off to use as leaves. Then I embossed the images with clear embossing powder and added colour using Distress Inks and a paintbrush. Faded Denim for the flowers, stems and leaves, and Bundled Sage, Evergreen Bough and Tumbled Glass for the background, which I just splodged on with the brush. Then I thought I'd add some stitching to the stems for a bit of detail.
