Winter whites

I just love how this worked out - I wasn't sure when I started which way it would go - it ended up very feminine and , I think, just beautiful.  I know the perfect person to gift it to and I'm sure she will be delighted

 

 

I started with a piece of recycled cardboard - I tore away some of the top paper and then covered it all in gesso

 

I then added some texture by putting texture paste through a stencil and leaving it to dry

 

Whilst it was drying I die cut the silhouette in white and black and glued together to create a shadow and added some Picket Fence Distress Paint. I also die cut the trailing vines and added the same Picket fence Distress Paint to them

 

I added the silhouette and vines to the nagging with glossy accents

 

I then drew some flowers on to parchment using a silver ink pen I then embossed them from the back - I added some to the bottom of the vines and the smaller ones to the top right corner

 

To finish off I added some silver rub ons and a quote that I stamped on to card stock, cut and distressed

 

I have added these pics so that you may be able to see more detail

 

Hope you like it as much as I do
