Tiny Tattered Flowers

Happy March to you!!!!

I am excited about bringing March "in"...as us Michiganders where I am at

know we won't have long to wait before we can start to see signs of Spring...

in fact, I can see the Daffodils popping up out of the ground in the snow...

and it's 29 degrees outside today...brrr...

 

 

I have been making so many fancy and a bit more time consuming flowers, that

I decided to switch it up (or down as the case may be) and make easier flowers....

I used Tim Holtz tattered flower garland to make these little beauties.....

they were painted with 2 colors of  Claudine Hellmuth Studio paints

 

 

which actually gave them a "streaked effect"'much like a real flower.....

 

 

the card base itself is a sizzix EB folder I water colored on with my TH Distress Markers.....

I cut a background center from the Cheery Lynn Designs "mesh border"

both the scallop circle and the mini doily (also a Cheery Lynn die)

 came right out of the old stash pile..yeah!!

I made this card for the challenge at Joan's Garden's

 this week it is to get a bit "creative"

the rules are to use a lattice

use an inked embossing folder

use a circle or oval

and to make a painted flower.....

so, I think I have it all covered!!
