Let's start off the hop with Lynne Forsythe...
Hi Everyone....
Are you enjoying this weeks blog hop
with Marion Smith???
What FABULOUS inspiration!!!
I'm so excited to be sharing my
Graduation Gift with you!
I began with a Canvas/Burlap Postcard.
I then took out a piece from Marion Smith Designs
Junque Gypsy 6 x 6 Paper Pack
I crumpled it
tore it
sewed it
stenciled on it
smeared paint on it....
AND I LIKED IT!
Then I pulled out some of the latest releases
Petaloo Blooms...
and a few oldies but goodies!!
I am TOTALLY in love with the
Calla Lilies and Berries
along with the
Velvet Lilacs
(at least they don't make me sneeze!)
To give all the different textured blooms
a bit of cohesiveness,
I accented them all with a bit of
Perfect Paints ~ Bright Gold Paint.
I finished of my "postcard"
with part of a quote from
Marion Smith Designs
Junque Gypsy 6x6 paper pack.
Now....to find a graduate to give this too!!!
I think I know of at least one!
Products Used:
Velvet Lilacs ~ Mauve
Calla Lillies & Berries ~ Soft Peach
Botanica Sugared Minis ~ Teal
Botanica Minis ~ Coral
Botanica Minis ~ Soft Yellow
