Dragons Dream TIO #183 - Red - Flowers

This fortnight it's my choice of colour theme over at DragonsDream Tag it On - and I've gone for red, with flower(s)
I decided to stencil my flowers, and used the stencil I got last April when I went to VersionScrap in Paris

 I forgot to take  much in the way of step by step photos, but I stencilled Prima Light Paste with a spatula, through the stencil and let it dry.  I love this paste, its soft but reasonably thick, and spreads so well.

Once dry, I took some red Fresco paints - Cherry Red, Blood Orange (ok, so it doesn't sound red, but it's quite a dark orangey-red colour),Claret and London Bus.  Letting them dry before adding touches of the next colour to get shading on the petals.

The flower centres are Zesty Zing and the leaves, Limelight with Hyde Park over.  The background is Guacamole.

very nearly forgot to use any stamps!!  no room on the tag, so stamped two of the words from JOFY12 on scrap card and used foam pads to mount them.

A piece of red ribbon to finish.


Do come over and see what my talented team mates have conjured up.
