* Path of Positivity: Vintage Florals

Hello

Welcome to the September Path of Positivity Challenge.

Our challenge is always Anything Goes with an optional theme.

This month's option is to design a project that is inspired by our Tic-Tac-Toe board.

Honours and Prizes include:

• $6 worth of images from Scribbles Designs, for a person chosen in a random draw based on all qualifying entrants.
• A badge for the following honours: Top Pick, Voter's Choice, Most Inspirational, Random Winner, DT Delight.

Here is my DT project:

I decided on the middle row (add trim, add dimension/texture and make own background) although my project also fits the top row, the first column and the top left to bottom right diagonal as well.

 I used a beautiful vintage floral image that was free with any purchase from Gecko Galz last month. I printed it out twice, so that I could fussy cut the tulip heads, the butterfly and some of the leaves. I shaped the tulip heads with a ball tool and popped foam tape under the centre of each so that they have dimension. I curled the leaves and left them free of adhesive so that they have some movement - this gives both dimension and texture. The butterfly was folded and adhered just in the centre.

The background was made by blending ink (Antique Lined and Frayed Burlap around the edges), then over-stamping in Antique Linen using a script stamp. Water was sprayed over the background and blotted to bleach out some colour.

 I matted the image and the background onto gold card (my nod to the 'bling' option in the top row). Some gorgeous lace trim was adhered along the base of the background and the floral panel was popped on foam tape to raise it and add dimension.

That's all for now.

We would love to see your creations! 
Just make sure that your entry is positive, inspirational, motivational or encouraging in some way!
