Tattered floral challange....

I have just been to the wonderful Finnabairs workshop in Stockholm where I learned more about mixed media. Then I saw the Tim Holtz blog and the Tattered floral challange and thought to myself that those flowers would seriously look great in this way of making mixed media...

I started by putting aluminium on to cardstock. Then with my cuttlebug I cut out the flower. After that I embossed them with more or less mechanical embossfolders. Then I took black acrylic paint and after applying it I wiped it of. Then I went sort of mad with different sprays and sprayed the flowers.

Later I attached it to the canvas and painted over with gesso to give the faint look. Not sure this picture makes justice for the flowers but I thought it turned out great.

On the picture are other TH dies as well... the clock the mechanichal stuff etc.

I got a few flowers extra and could not help it making a smaller canvas also. That is the one below.

On this is also the swirl in the design and I was more active with Inka Gold and brown. Also there are two earrings on the picture - one next to my son, the one looking like a zipper, the other one is the birdcage at the bottom.

Well that was all I had for this challange I keep my fingers crossed and wish for lady luck to be a fan of mixed media =)
