Add a flower - Lavinia Stamps Challenge September

Well I started a blog so that I could enter the Challenge but I discovered that I only had one flower stamp from Lavinia which is the tiny flower group so having brought the zentangle butterfly at the Ally Pally show last week I decided to use this to make my main flower

 

I stamped and heat embossed - in black sparkle - 16 of the right wings!

Then I cut them out and painted them with H2O paints

 

I then arranged them in a circle and using pinflair glue angled them at a slight tilt - all of this on a small piece of acetate which once it was set I stuck to the backing paper.

 

I made the backing paper by heat embossing the small flower group onto white card in a variety of different colours. 

I then used distressing ink to make the paper blue and sprayed the card with water to give it a slight (and in the photos invisible) mottled look.

I then used fine holographic glitter to pick out the centre of each flower and used a slightly larger grained holo glitter to make the centre of the butterfly wing flower.

Oh, I edged the background with an x-cut punch and square gems and corners with heart shaped ones
