Black and White and Orange

Hello.  Welcome.  Another very wet day here so a chance to work on a PaperArtsy inspired project.  This week Clare Lloyd is back with some lovely projects and I particularly liked her ATC post.    I loved the technique and decided to make a card

I started by spreading some paint around on some card.  If you like messy you'll enjoy this.  Or maybe it was just me....  Then I stamped with JM34 and cut out the flowers.  

 

I loved Clare's background but couldn't find a suitable stamp.  I did find a piece of wire mesh that I inked and stamped with.  If you think it's a great idea just be aware that most mesh is over layed so you can only stamp with one direction then you re-ink, rotate and stamp again.  The imperfect effect is pleasing.   I also used Crafty Individuals Splat stamp.  

 

I scattered my flowers and decided they needed a vase.  The best thing I came up with is this lovely bottle from LPC001.  I drew some stems to ground the flowers.  Maybe I need a shadow under the bottle as well.
