Framed Flower Art

I was recently asked to create some 'artwork' for a CTMH Leadershare event being held in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania this coming weekend. I wasn't given any guidelines and was just asked to create something nice. All of the donations will be used in a silent auction, with all of the proceeds going to Operation Smile. We are all hoping that this auction will result in the most money raised at any of the 5 CTMH Leadershare events held this year. I am so pleased with this way this project turned out and I hope that it gets lots of interest this weekend! In fact, I like it so much, I need hurry up and make one for myself!

The papers used on the flowers are from the new CTMH Sophia paper pack. The green printed background paper is from the Miracle paper pack. The leaves were cut with a Sizzix die called 'Branch with leaves.' I added dimension to the flowers using a Copic marker. All of the embellishments are from CTMH. I used our new buttons, waxy flax, ric-rac, and white daisy rub-ons on the frame. The corners and the bottom are embellished with hand-stitching. I also added some glitter to the flower edges to add some 'bling.' The frame was purchased at Wal-Mart on clearance for $5. (I actually went back this week and bought five more!)
