E-Team Picks Challenge - Experiment for Spring

~

~

Hello, everyone!  As hard as I tried I just couldn't have a project ready for this past Thursday's e-Team Picks Challenge.  I finally had some time this weekend and I'd like to show you what I came up with.

Sherry is our hostess and she asked us to use FLOWERS.

The first thing that came to my mind is the fact that Spring has finally sprung here, and we have flowers everywhere now.   I also just received some goodies from eclectic Paperie, so I decided to experiment with some of the new goodies as well as some older favorites and some flowers, of course!

I pulled out my art journal and coated a page with some new Spun Sugar Distress Paint.  How yummy this pretty pink is!  Then I just started adding paints, inks, stains, sprays and so many other fun elements!  Here's what I finally ended up with:

I used stencils and Distress ink with blending tools, some Christy Tomlinson Text Coffee Filter paper with Matte Multi-Medium, a crimper with white cardstock and Distress Stains,  a Donna Downey flower foam stamp with black ink, and Ranger Glossy Accents for dew drops on the paper flowers.

I also used some Wendy Vecchi embossing paste here and there and then spritzed everything with some White Linen Dylusions ink spray.  Love that stuff!

This was certainly fun, but I may have "overloaded" it with all my experimentation!

We'd love it if you play along in the e-Team Flower challenge!  Let's see what you come up with!

Thanks so much for dropping in today!

Broni! I LOOOVE this!! I am still struggling with the fear of "adding" too much and actually think I'm too skimpy on the layers!! This turned out gorgeous!

Your pink is precious! This is a wonderful page! The only way you could have "overloaded" that page is if closing the journal is impossible now. Otherwise, it's totally spring-y and delightful.

This is so delicious, Broni... the delicate pink is so pretty, and the composition with the strong horizontal tapes and the flowers just floating upwards from there - brilliant! I think I just saw a comment from you pop up in my inbox just as your page was opening - love that coincidental timing when it happens!

This is beautiful, Broni. Definitely not overloaded. The background is so pretty. I love that the more I look at it, the more detail and layers I see. The composition is wonderful, as is the colour palette.Wish it was spring here!

This is so fun, Broni! I love the soft pastels you worked with...and then that pop of neon green. This would make a gorgeous card or canvas. I love it!
