Let's get the fun started with an ALTERED ART project from Petaloo DT member Lynne Forsythe ...
I have to say......
when I laid my eyes on this month's
design team box.....I FELL IN LOVE!
Authentique's Nestled Collection
and LOTS of Petaloo blooms.
I began with a wooden star and painted the
edges and grooves with Perfect Paints
Shimmering Matte Acrylic ~ Espresso.
I then chose various papers from the
Authentique ~ Nestled Collection,
cut them to size,
distrezzed the edge
then I inked the edges with
Ranger Archival Ink ~ Orange Blossom.
I adhered the pieces down with
Ranger Multi Medium ~ Matte.
I then gathered up my Petaloo Blooms
Chantilly Mixed Blooms x 6 ~ Cream
Mixed Textured Mini Blossoms x 9 ~ Teal
Botanica Sugared Blooms x 4 ~ Mocha
and added a few from my stash
Botanica Floral Ephemera ~ Ivory
Sugared Berry Clusters x 3 ~ Teal.
....and created the ohh so FALL inspired
flower cluster!!
I finished off my Fall Star with
a wonderful quote stamp from
Yvonne Blair Designs/Impression Obsession.
I just loved these Authentique Nestled Papers
and the coordinating Petaloo Blooms that
I JUST COULDN'T STOP...
More distrezzing, inking and layering
and a bit of Petaloo Burlap Trims ~ Cream
accented with a
Petaloo Botanica Sugared Bloom x 4 ~ Mocha
and I came up with this
EASY PEASY Congrats Card!!!
THANK YOU for joining along with
my creative journey!!
Such beautiful Authentique and Petaloo products made into something so unbelievably fabulous! Love he star shape especially!!
