Now I know there aren't exactly a lot of flowers blooming outside in the winter but I'm bringing you some lovely winter themed flowers anyways! I am totally in love with the newest mood board! Take a look.
Isn't it gorgeous?? One of these years I'm going to decorate my Christmas tree in all blue and silver. It'll have to wait until the kids move out though! Our tree is currently a hodge podge of assorted ornaments and they each have their own collection I add to every year. They get to take them with when they move out!
Let me get back to my project and go ahead and share it with you!
When I saw all those luscious shades of blue I knew I just had to color up some flowers! This flower is from the Time to Blossom set. This is most definitely one of my absolutely favorite sets from Kennedy Grace Creations. I colored the flowers with Copic markers using BG000, BG01, BG05 and a touch of BG07. I colored the leaves using T1, T3 and T5. Aren't they lovely?
To create the background I started with a piece of watercolor paper. I used a snowflake stencil and distress inks to sponge two different sizes of snowflakes. I then splattered a little water mixed with Pearl ex on the snowflakes and dabbed it up with a paper towel. Then I thinned down silver paint and splattered that all over the background as well.
After it was all dry I heat embossed the sentiment in silver. I cut out the watercolor paper using a stitched die and adhered it to the plaid paper. I love this paper from Doodlebug! This was all then layered onto a blue card base. I added sequins from the Lemon Sorbet mix. As a final touch I colored over the flowers with the clear Spectrum Noir sparkle marker. Check out all that shimmer in the close up!
I can't help myself so I have one more picture for you!
I hope you find some inspiration and will play along with the mood board. We would love to see your work! See all our links at the bottom of this post.
