Flowers whisper what words cannot say....

Inspired by Stamplorations to make a card today!

I stamped the Blooming Buds flowers on cardstock and colored with distress markers and crayons. I then fussy cut the flower tops and leaves and added them over another stamped image on cardstock with tacky glue. I used wild honey distress ink on background stencil over top to finish, and matted to red card base.

Vermillion, Black & Library Green Archival Inks

Tissue Wrapping Paper Applied With Mod Podge

 I up-cycled a 20 oz can to hold my pencils & stuff. First I applied tissue wrapping paper with Mod Podge and let that dry, and then applied another layer. I loved the texture it gave. Then I applied white acrylic paint over it. Let that dry.
 Colored over all with different Distress Paints. Did some sentiment stamping randomly, using black archival ink.
The Happy Flowers Stencil from ARTplorations was applied using texture paste mixed with some orange acrylic paint. Inspirational words were printed out and applied with glue stick to complete my altered can/pencil holder. One of my passions is to upcycle & alter!
