simon says stamp monday challenge: flora and fauna

newchallenge

This week the theme for the challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog is Flora and Fauna.  Definition: Flora is plant life; fauna refers to animals. The handiest way to remember flora and fauna is that "flora" sounds like flowers, which are part of the plant world, and fauna sounds like "fawn," and fawns are part of the animal kingdom.

Cheiron- make life beautiful_
This week to create my canvas I used some Mixed Media Board, painted with Twisted Citron and Mermaid Lagoon Paints. I added some texture paste using the Mini Layering 8 stencils, and removed some of the Mermaid Lagoon paint using the Mini Layering 4 stencils. Some stamping in black soot Distress paint with the Halftone and Rings stamps. Then I layered on the Wildflowers and Butterfly Frenzy dies and added some more layers using Distress Crayons. See links to all supplies below. 


Be sure to stop back and play along with us in a new challenge each Monday!
