Sprays ART

Joining in the PA challenge once more and to be fair was not as fired up this time round! Not usual for me but Leandra and team are covering all bases and this one is not really in my zone!
However........

I started by mixing fresco paints with water in little spray bottles using Rose, Mermaid, Bougainvillea and Eggplant. I just used a circles stencil to keep things fairly simple.
Onto this background I stamped one of Lin Browns new leaf stamps in black archival and covered over the background with fresco chalk.

Next I stamped the flower stamp twice, masking and overlapping and created 2 flowers. I used the paint left from the sprays to colour the petals and used a variety of greens for the leaves.

I overstamped the stamens and clear embossed them to make them stand out. I further highlighted the tips with Black Perfect Pearls and used some pink and green Perfect Pearls on the centres and on the leaves.

It was looking a bit too twee for me so I grunged it up with an ART stencil which I sprayed through with Dyan's Black ink and added extra ink to make the letters run.

I thought that the black grungy letters gave a good contrast to the pretty flowers.

Thanks for looking!
