March Challenge - Love for Flowers by Suzanne Franin

Hey Everyone Suzanne here

This week on the Art and Soul Blog it's my turn for this months challenge for Soul Sisters Facebook Group and it is to use feathers or leaves 
Also check out the Art and Soul Studio Store for lots of yummy products - new stock arriving all the time

This mood board is so vibrant loving the glass bottles
Don't forget to enter and put it in the March Album with photo on it 

I have an unhealthy love for flowers hahaha which lucky for me this months challenge called for leaves and I have plenty of those as well

I had made a tag awhile ago using a Tim Holtz stencil with modelling paste

I added a row of heart stickers I think they were from a Kaisercraft sticker sheet and some Art Stones 
I then painted it with Impasto - Jade and Raspberry Pink and added a bit of water to it then stamped a Kaisercraft dotted stamp with some Black Archival Ink

The frame I was given by someone that they had gotten from the op shop, it was navy blue to start with
On the back of the frame I used the doily stencil then painted it with the Jade Impasto

So I used the Raspberry Pink Impasto which is so thick I only needed one coat
I then gave it a light wipe with some white gesso

I got out my flowers and added them after glueing the tag to the frame

I painted the leaves in the Jade because the green of the leaves just didn't go

I gave the chipboard word a flick with some watered down impasto because it was just too white
