a Mother's love

Good afternoon everyone! It's time for the final word reveal at Use Your Words. Your last challenge word is "love" to use in your title or journaling. This is what I created
Is there a stronger love than that of a Mother for her children? I found this wonderful vintage photo on Pinterest. For this I used Prima Fairy Rhymes papers mixed with a couple of scraps I had on hand. I started by toning down the background with gesso, then went back and did some random masking with gesso and a stencil. Once that dried I used a ledger mask and "Patina" texturz by Shimmerz. For my flower cluster I started with a piece of cheescloth as my base, then addeed a Prima vine that I had cut up, stringing a strand of pearls through. Then I just start building my flower cluster with various flowers and floral wires, finishing it by tucking in a small spool with thread for a cute little added touch.

I hope that I've inspired you in some small way to join us. I would "love" to see your creations. Thanks for dropping by for a peek!
