It's a Flower Frenzy!


While I love this week’s colors for SOC Challenge Purple + Purple + Yellow, I just couldn’t get my groove going.  To find some inspiration I searched though my pile of saved quotes from my Seize the Day desk calendar.  Found this one with 2 shades of purple and a yellow; perfect!  The flowers inspired me to use The Crafter's Workshop 12 x 12 Flower Frenzy stencil.

While I love this stencil, I never really know how to go about coloring it.  After pushing modeling paste through I hand painted each flower then did some doodling.  It turned out a little too fussy and busy for my tastes.   But it’s done.




Colors used:
Folk Art Metallic in amethyst
Pantone Multi-Surface in passion flower
Pantone Multi-Surface in gold fusion

  8. I meant to get here sooner, but time got away from me this week. I had a LOT of trouble with these colors, but obviously, you didn't. Your flowers are wonderful, and I really like that stencil you used. It was just what was needed when you hand painted the flowers.
