This was the inspiration photo.
And here is my project. I used the colours in the dress, and the flowers as my inspiration for this project.
I had a wooden frame that I got at the dollar store. I painted it with watered down white acrylic paint, then added the flowers using the eraser from a wooden pencil.
I used acrylic paints that I have had for many years, and some of them were thicker than others, which added to the dimension.
The letters are cut from the sunset sizzix alphabet, and the only stamp I used is my favourite one from Unity, Wish Sticks. It was stamped on a super thin coaster using brown paint.
The centre panel is a quote I found online, and I printed it on flecked cream cardstock using Becky Higgins font.
I love my mother as the trees love water and sunshine
she helps me grow, prosper, and reach great heights.
