Jumbo Tattered Flower

I'm back again with more handmade flowers for week two of Jenny's challenge over at Frilly and Funkie.  I decided to go really tattered this time, using canvas, vintage net and burlap.  I cut the largest flower layers with the Jumbo Tattered Florals XL die and the smaller ones were cut with the Tattered Florals Bigz die.  All the layers were colored with a mix of rubbing alcohol and Vermillion archival reinker.

The background for my tattered flower was created using a half sheet of Ranger Speciality Stamping Paper.  I mixed rubbing alcohol with Vermillion and Coffee archival inks.  A bit of stamping was done with Jet Black Archival Ink using Wendy Vecchi's Vintage Mesh and the ledger stamp from A Form of Art.  I also stenciled using the new Add a Stencil and Jet Black Archival.  The stamping is from the Seriously Art set.
The leaf branches were made using Wendy Vecchi white embossing paste to which I added a couple of drops of Bundled Sage reinker.  

I hope you will stop by Frilly and Funkie to see the wonderful handmade flowers the rest of the team is sharing.  And I hope you will make a few of your own and join our challenge!

Thank you for stopping by today!

    If that isn't the most poignant phrase and so well needed for me right now...I don't know what is. I've been away for a bit but finally have the entire to peruse my favorite happy places and wanted to come over and see what you've been up to!
    Hope you're doing well. I am enjoying myself thoroughly as I see your creative mind hard at work on all your latest posts.
    Thank you for making my morning Linda and hugs to you.
