More Paperartsy play! - Shiny Stuff

Evening -  had a bit of play this evening with Lin's new big flower from ELB16 and some metal.. oooh me likey!

 Am using Lin's new Limited Edition paints too, just love them!  The journal page is covered with the Caribbean Sea, and I stamped the big flower twice, painting the petals with the gorgeous Bougainvillea - I wish you could see this in the flesh, (even with the daylight bulb and the flash, it's not a fabulous photo!)

I used Banana for the centre of the petals and in between the pink.

Used Guacamole for the leaves..

 I stamped the flower again on a piece of copper metal, and puffed it gently using a paper stump, after outlining the petals with a soft pokey tool. Filled the back of the flower carefully with Prima Light Paste (Finn's) this is wonderful - so light and fluffy, like lightly whipped cream, so it didn't "unpuff" my metal  - and let it partly set before putting some matte medium onto the journal page, to help hold the flower in place.

Stamped a sentiment from one of Lin's earlier flower text sets, and done!

Entering this to the Paperartsy "shiny stuff" challenge, although it was only as I was typing this up, that I realised it qualified, lol!!  I have been inspired by all the fabulous samples from the new Paperartsy releases this week, and especially Lin Brown's here
