I trimmed one of the diecuts to be just the stems,
and adhered it to the whole flower image
only on the stems and moulded
the leaves for a dimensional effect.

I then, took a piece of Canvas Corp ~ Tissuestock,
I cut the Tissuestock into 12 ~ 3" x 3" piece.
Because the Tissuestock is so thin
I was able to cut multiple layers at once with the
I placed a brad in the center of the flowers and
scrunched up the layers.
Using a fan brush I painted on a bit of
of Silk Acrylic Glaze ~ Spicy Tomato
spritzed it with a bit of water,
then dried, forming as it dried!
I then adhered the flowers to the whole
diecut image.
I adhered the
to the front of my book cover that consisted of layers of
Canvas Corp Brands ~ Burlap, Serengeti PP and E Flute.
I hope you have enjoyed our Spring Release Blog Hop!!!

Congrats on your new grandson, being a gardener myself I have to say what a wonderful chance to teach and spend much treasured time with loved ones. My children have been out in the garden since they have been born and enjoy all that gardening has to offer. I have not journaled our progress in a creative way like you plan to. What a great idea and many memories could be kept in there. Thank you for the great idea. And it looks beautiful!!
Awesome Lynne!! I LOVE the flowers and how cool it will be to teach your sweet baby to grow a garden! Happy first day of spring! Is it ever going to stop snowing?!
