Good Monday everyone...this is the latest challenge at Creative Twist....Steph provided a sketch for us and the theme was feelin' fruity....I used a pic of my DS in 2005...it was Mothers Day and my boyssss made me breakfast in bed...Mcauley is holding a beautiful fruit salad they made as part of the meal. I did not have any fruit papers I loved so I decided...why not make my own....I downloaded some images and copied and pasted and played until I came up with what you see. The back ground paper is from Provo Craft....Michelle Andersen's Pathways. I borrowed a flower technique from Lynn at Pretty Paper Swirls...check out her blog....she has a great tutorial on how they are created. The naturally, no and added are all computer generated. I used lots of bling, stickles and a bit of ribbon. I also used my Martha Stewart punch along the edges of the paper and made my own photo corners and punched those as well...the flower center is the cornflower MS punch....I used it for my flower petal effect too....I found the photo corners blog hopping and cannot remember the blog so I plan on doing a tutorial....hopefully that will be done before I post this. I also added lots of craft stain to help the items appear aged.
