The photos were taken in the tree fort area,that is on the river bank…..

The flower centers were old cloth,bright cloth covered brads. I first painted them with gesso,then I applied MS texture effects. While the texture effects was still wet,I sprinkled on some seed beads & placed some pearls. I let that dry,then applied a coat of rock candy crackle…..

I did some stencil work,using crafters workshop (Art is) using molding mast. I stamped the flowers using gesso,then applied gesso to the edges using a small brush….
