So here is the Mood Board for the challenge....

So it has my fav colour to work with orange... but I don't usually use it in such a warm combination as this.... and then there's the "sparkle and shine" oh great... glitter, I guess I'll be wearing that for the next week at least...  The Chipboard and Tags, makes me smile... love love love chipboard, so that's easy for me and tags are so versatile, so no stress there... ok... so lets get to it.... here is my process video and if you scroll down after the video I have include a bonus video for you too!!!  Enjoy!

Lace Flowers..... by Cindy Porter

Hi everyone, I am so excited to be joining you all today for my first post on this fabulous team at Art and Soul Studio.

I will confess that it was a little daunting trying to decide what to create for my very first post... so many wonderful products in the Art and Soul Studio to play with... Under such pressure, I decided to go with one of my all time favourite products... Vivid Ultra Metallic paints...  Seriously, these paints are in a class of there own, rich creamy paints with amazing metallic shimmer and shine, and the things you can do with them... and that leads us straight into todays tutorial... Lace Flowers...

Don't they just look seriously amazing... made from the paint, not painted onto a flower, made completely from the paint!...

Now onto a little video I made to show you how you can create these fabulous flowers for yourself... 

So I hoped you enjoyed this technique and will consider adding some of this fabulous paint to your stash... You can find the Vivid paint here: https://artandsoulstudio.com.au/index.php?route=product/search&search=Vivid%20Ultra%20Metallics

following are some pics of a quick layout I created using the flowers and leaves from the video...

This was two of my gorgeous nieces on Christmas Eve opening their chrissy pressies from auntie Cindy, love these girls... so fabulous watching their faces...

I used a couple of pieces of paper that I had printed on my Gel Press plate, using Kaisercraft paints, to make this layout, kept the design very simple to show off the Vivid embellishments...
