Hazel and the Puppy

My Aunt Hazel

For this layout I used papers from the Wallflower paper stash by Tim Holtz.

These are the dies and punch I used:

Cheery Lynn Designs Horizon Circles

Tattered Lace Mini Ruffle Squares

Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles Two

Martha Stewart Wild Flowers

Spellbinders Victorian Corners

I layered all the die-cuts over a dark brown cardstock copy and offset them slightly to accentuate the edges.

These are the chipboard pieces I used:

Blue Fern Studios Bits of Honey

Creative Embellishments Rose Leaves Spray

I painted the Rose Leaves Spray green and then embossed all the chipboard pieces with ultra thick embossing enamel using clear ink.  For the Bits of Honey I lightly dabbed brown, pale green and white paint overtop using a paintbrush.  

I painted the Rose Leaves Spray again with the same green and added veins with brown paint using a fine-tipped brush.  I then scratched over the veins with a pin and applied some watery light green paint in between the veins.

Here are some more close-ups:

Thank you so much for taking a look!
