Petal Lu Challenge #34

Hello lovelies.

It's challenge time over at 


The theme is all about white. Now, you can incorporate another colour if you wish or go with a full white theme, whichever you choose we would like to see a white flower on your project. You may want  to use a few white flowers or just the one...it's up to you.

Here is a picture of some of the beautiful white flowers available from PETAL LU 


I decided to make a mixed media project for my design team project this time. I love mixed media work, and I have to say I am pretty pleased with how this canvas turned out.


I first of all used texture paste with a stencil to create some bubble texture in random areas. I glued various Snip Art pieces and then I have used lot's of beautiful embellishment's which I have glued to the canvas.  
I added some lace and washi tape and then also a picture of a butterfly with a frame over. I added some beads and then painted over it all with gesso. I used a couple of coats to make sure everything was covered how I wanted it. 

I then glued the beautiful Petal Lu flowers to the frame. I sprinkled over the canvas randomly using some mica powder which I then spritzed with water and dried with a heat tool. I added the Beautiful sentiment which I stamped onto paper. To finish I splattered black ink randomly over the whole canvas. 

I think the Petal Lu flowers finish the mixed media canvas off perfectly.  I now have this hanging on the wall in my hallway and I have to say it does look really pretty!

Petal Lu Challenge - Anything Goes

Hello lovelies!

I can't believe we are in December already. This year has just flown by. It's a busy time at  work for me, I do enjoy the Christmas rush. I have to confess though that I've hardly made any Christmas cards except for design team ones! It's a time thing...eek!

Anyway so as usual, the challenge theme is anything goes.

So, I've made a quick and simple Christmas Card using one of the gorgeous trio stamp sets from Lili of the Valley. I've used the beautiful Petal Lu flower at the top of each stamp.
