Our hostess is {Carol} and she is asking us to help celebrate Springtime by using flowers in our creations.

I stuck the lolly sticks together and used the horizontal stick to strengthen the vertical sticks. Texture paste was applied through a mask in the top right corner for some lovely texture and then the black gesso fun part.
I painted as you can see above and stamped the angel and flowers on white card: coloured them and glued in place adding glossy accents and glitter to finish.

A pretty beaded wire hanger finished this sweet make and it's now adorning my kitchen :)
Wishing you a lovely day. Sam xxx
