Ah, spring… in New England, spring doesn’t really come until mid-April.<\/p>\n

Proof of that would be the 20 inches<\/em> of snow we got this past week. \u00a0Bleck.<\/p>\n

\"tattered-floral-wreath\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In defiance of the storm, I spent it in my craft room, working on this wreath for Tim Holtz’s Tattered Floral Challenge<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Click on any of the photos to zoom in.<\/p>\n

\"tattered-floral-wreath-close-up\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s a close up of the flowers, can you guess what they’re made of?<\/p>\n

\"tattered-floral-wreath-1-flowers\"<\/a><\/p>\n

All these flowers and leaves started their lives as plastic packaging. \u00a0First I die cut all the packages I’ve been saving with the\u00a0Tattered Florals<\/a><\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0Tattered Leaves<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0dies.<\/p>\n

\"tattered-floral-wreath-2-alcohol-ink\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then they were colored with various alcohol inks.<\/p>\n

\"tattered-floral-wreath-3-snow-cap-mixative\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To make the colors more pastel and more opaque, I went over them with a clean felt pad that had two drops of\u00a0Snow Cap mixative<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0and two drops of\u00a0Alcohol Blending Solution<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n

\"tattered-floral-wreath-4-shape-with-heat-tool\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To give them their curled shape I hit each with my\u00a0heat tool<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>. \u00a0After you heat all the petals give the center a final blast, then you can quickly shape it over a bottle cap or rounded tool.<\/p>\n

\"tattered-floral-wreath-5-flowers-leaves\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are all my flowers and leaves, ready to go. To get rid of the plastic shine, each flower and petal was painted with a mixture of\u00a0Matte Multi Medium<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0Perfect Pearl<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0powder, thinned with quite a bit of water.<\/p>\n

\"tattered-floral-wreath-pink-flower-close-up\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I glued pearls into each center with the\u00a0Matte Multi Medium<\/a>, dyed the wide silk ribbon with Distress Stains and added some butterflies.<\/p>\n
