Dream, Inspire, Be strong.

It's a CAS piece for Creative Artiste Mixed Media this month

as I got a few new AALL&Create stamp sets that were on sale

here in Australia. Always on the lookout for them as they are

expensive and I love quite a few of the older ones.

So of course I had to ink up one from my wish list.

I started my background inking up on w/c paper

with Tim's oxide ink and Nuvo Powder

then stamping my AALL&Create Brush Flower #234

with Versafine Clair Nocturne and heat embossing clear.

Then adding stencilling from ARTplorations 

and inking in the centre of a few circles.

Die cut a black circle to highlight the flower head.

A bit more stamping here and there and around the edges.

Sentiments were cut from AALL&Create Power of the Word #754

(love that set with so many words to choose from)

highlighted with a cheesecloth backing.

and again with the finished piece.
