It all started with this simple idea. I'd been wanting a set of botanical prints to hang on my bedroom wall for ages. But they are very expensive. Recently I found a book of large sized prints of roses at the book store for $7. I now had a whole book to choose from. This is one of the framed prints I chose. I then decided to add a little bit of embellishment to the prints.
This one includes that fabulous image that was offered from Art Creations Friday, a postcard from Oxford Impressions, and a lovely lace heart I received long ago from Sarah (and which I promised would be used on something very special.)
What followed was I found a wonderful background using those prints for these little pieces of art:
Stamps from Oxford Impressions and Paperbag Studios.
Stamps from Hero Arts, Studio G. Image from Collage Visions.
