This is my entry for PDCC11 challenge. The rules are to use the colours silver, gold, black and white.
I sprayed the background with various colours of glimmer mists, including gold, I made the flowers out of silver and copper metal, covered with black acrylic paint, then wiped it off so that little bits were left on. I hand stitched the stems with white thread, finished off with a black and white bow, then machine stitched around the edges in white.
It's started snowing again! Just put a couple of inches down in an hour. I'm fed up with the snow now, doesn't even look attractive anymore, boo hoo.
Creative, imaginative and beautiful, isn't it amazing what these colors do? Thanks for joining us at the Play Date Cafe. Sandi

ReplyDeleteLove the stitching Ann and the flowers look fab!! Good luck with the challenge xx Sorry to hear your still snowed in!! I hate it too looks pretty for a day or two then it should be gone!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes Ann, I like the combination of both hand sewn and machine stitched, a lovely touch. Good luck with the challenge! I feel a bit house bound too with the snow, dug the car out to go grocery shopping yesterday and then its snowed again overnight and covered the tracks out of the garage so we'll be stuck in again for a few more days 'cos I'm not digging it out again! Oh well, perhaps I'll just have to play....
