Spring blossoms and sparkle

We've had a few days of gusty wind recently and all the spring blossoms are looking a bit battered and bruised now, so I had to make something to remember them by before they vanish completely.


Compulsory sparkle close up! 

First I used Cosmic Shimmer Ultra Sparkle Paste in Rose Copper  to stencil the background - I'm sure they are meant to be just random flowers but they remind me of apple blossom. Then I stamped the flower spray and sentiment, using stamps from a recent magazine cover mount, and used partial die cutting to make the flowers into an oval panel, then coloured them with Promarkers using fresh spring colours. Again they are just random stylised flowers but in my mind as I was colouring them they became apple blossom, cherry blossom and camellias. Some fresh green matting and candi to finish it all off. 

I am sharing this with
