'BLOOMS' 

photo sourced from Tumblr

These new papers are such a delight to work with and I decided to compliment them with some roses and blooms and a photo to match .

I have used green cardstock to tone in with the Summer papers and inked random sections with a mask and stamping and gesso .

The leaves are diecut with Cottage Cutz /leafy foliage  :
 using a combination of The Summers Dance and A Summers day papers .

The heavenly  velvet flowers and the magnificent paper roses are just the perfect match
 for these summery papers.

I have added some 2Crafty chipboard leaves and blossom branches blended among
 this precious velvet and paper flowers cluster .

The title BLOOMS has been altered.
PROCESS 

Firstly  glue chipboard title to the page.

Brush with gesso .

When dry add some Versa color ink.. sage and rose .

Next step add some Tim Holtz crackle paint and allow to dry.
Very simple process creating a dramatic effect and lots of fun.

Stamp with a background stamp for dimension and interest .

( I used the chicken wire Kaisercraft acrylic stamp)
