Something New

Hi all and welcome to another week of the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. This week the challenge is to stamp and punch!


I just received these awesome tiny tattered flowers dies and they were brand new and I couldn't wait to try them out.
I started with a burlap canvas:

A whimsical flowery tree on a canvas appeared using a mix of the flowers created with Authentique Adore Papers and a hint of Heidi Swapp – Raspberry Art Screen.   The background is a mix of a painted background with  embossed flowers using the Tim Holtz Layering Stencil Doily and Wendy Vecchi White Embossing Paste. 
 
My burlap canvas existed with many layers of oops and mistakes and I kept layering it up until I got my background that I ended up using. 

I created my tree from spraying tissue paper with a mix of brown and black sprays.  I then just twisted and turned up pieces of the tissue to form my tree.  After that I glued it down to the background. I accented the tree with my pretty flowers.

I then added the stickers from Idea-Ology - Stickers (Occasions) with a hint of sponging to coordinate. I used the Memento -  Rose Bud

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

  13. This reminded me of a fairy garden or a beautiful Spring scene or a magical orchard full or blossoms. You can tell I'm not a gardener because I'm struggling with the lingo here, but suffice it to say that this is a stunner! And wherever this would be in the real floral universe, I want to be there, too!
