This stamp set from
Hampton Art that I got to use for my project is the
"Blossom Sentiments" set by Kelly Panacci.
It's a very fun and funky flower set that is perfect to design with as we head into Spring. I was so glad to create something with a Spring vibe to get me away from the Winter blahh hum-drum!
So, I made a flower arrangement to welcome Spring... and let's hope that it is real soon as the good little fella, Phil, predicts!
First, I glued Darice 2 ply jute around a salvaged "bread crumbs" canister. I diecut 2 " circles from shades of
Pastel Core'dinations and then stamped a large floral image onto each with Tuxedo black Memento ink. All these were outlined with a silver Signo pen and colored in with EK Success colored pencils. I sanded around each circle and then sprayed each with Pearl Glimmer Mist. I created the flowers by adhering each of the stamped circles onto a dowel rod for the stem, using Adhesive Dodz by 3L.
These rods were spray painted Apple Green with American Accents by Rust-Oleum. I tied pieces of May Arts ribbons around each flower stem to mimic leaves. I stuffed the can with spanish moss to hold the flowers in place. To complete the project I tied a green mesh bow around the can and accented with a butterfly and tag which were diecut using
Cricut Picturesque. Of course I used stamping and a sentiment to complete the look of the tag!
Well, that is all I have to share for today. Thanks so much for stopping by and remember to visit and comment on all the other stops along the way. You just never know when you maybe lucky enough to score a prize! :) Have a great weekend!
