Artful Florals
This week over at Simon Says Stamp and Show your challenge is to draw inspiration from Wendy Vecchi's style.
I have used Wendy Vecchi Be Inspired...Make Art and It's More Flower Art. For my background I have cut out text from a gardening magazine and covered a 5" x 5" square with text, which I have then painted with a thin layer of Gesso and sprayed with Terra Cotta Adirondack Color Wash and Amaretto Memories Mist, and wiped away any excess with a baby wipe.
I coloured a piece of Grungepaper with DI inks rusty hinge and fired brick and stamped the flowers with StazOn black. Cut out each flower, bent to shape and added Tim's Idea-Ology to one centre and a brad to the second. Before adding the finished piece to a card I hand stitched one side with copper metallic thread. To complete, I added an Adage Ticket. Enjoy your Wednesday, Tracy x

This is stunning, I love it, the background, your flowers, everything about it.
Well Tracy if this isn't Wendys style nothing is, perfectly done!
What a beautiful card - so many details, and with a lovely professional finish to it. Wish I could make cards that looked like this!
I had not thought about painting on Gesso and then wiping it off before it drys. what a great idea. I have a huge pot of the stuff in my painting box. will have to dig it out. I love the way it tomnes the paper down. thanks for the tip :)
I love this - your flowers are perfect, and what a great background - very YOU!! but the overall effect is very Wendy!
This is really nice! I like the "artful" in the center of the flower :)
Thanks so much for joining the Simon Says Stamp & Show!!
