I created some rolled roses for my simple flowers. After I cut out the spirals, I placed them on a non stick craft mat, misted them very lightly with water, then sprayed both sides with color. While they were still wet, I swirled them through the left over spray on the mat until all color was soaked up and the spiral cutouts were fully saturated with color. I did one color at a time using 3 of the colors in the set. Drop Dead Gorgeous Green, Prima Donna Purple, and Sassy Sapphire Starburst Sprays.
For the leaves, I used a technique I learned from Lynne Woolgar for Lindys a while back. Except I added my own twist. Check out this tutorial. Fall Pumpkin. I painted just the backs of silk autumn leaves using white gesso. Once they were dried, I sprayed the fronts of the leaves using the starburst sprays just like Lynne did. The twist, is I wanted to add a golden shimmer to the leaves and flowers, So I sprayed them with Grab a Guy Gold Starburst spray for a rich golden shimmer. The gold settled into the veins of the leaves beautifully.
You can see how the gold starburst spray tones down the brightness of the colors and adds a beautiful golden hue to the layout. I even sprayed the outer parts of the layout with Grab a Guy Gold once the layout was complete.
I sprayed some cheese cloth with Prima Donna Purple and Sassy Sapphire, and added it to the back of the photo and around some of the spiral roses.
I used Sassy Sapphire embossing powder on the Dusty Attic chipboard circle behind the photo. I printed up some butterflies on white card stock, then after I cut them out I painted them with Prima Donna Purple Magicals diluted in a bit of water so the color was not intense. I wanted more of a water color effect. Then adding a little bit of Grab A Guy Gold Starburst Spray finished them beautifully.
I used Drop Dead Gorgeous Green embossing powder on the Dusty Attic LOVE chipboard piece.
