Craft Barn Calendar Challenge - May


Another month and another page for my calendar for next year. This month's recipe asks for magenta and flowers so I decided to make my flower magenta.
The flower in question is Chloe by Woodware which I heat embossed and painted with Twinkling H2Os on some scrap card. The background card was meant to have an ombré effect but it got lost in the subsequent layers. I used a stencil and some Ferro paste over the bottom third and brushed dusty concord DI through a stencil over the top two thirds. I stamped the flower image again onto the card and laid the cut out, painted flower over it. To finish I added black enamel accents to the stamens.
