This month I joined Laurie Moore's May Challenge and created "A Mother's Love" canvas. I enjoyed last month's challenge so much that I couldn't pass up another challenge for this month. It's fun to try to come up with something with the item she features for her challenges and I envisioned a "vase" filled with flowers when I received the cone. I wanted to do some stenciling with molding paste on the cone but it was impossible to wrap the stencil around it without the paste smearing. I had an idea of taking a piece of tissue paper, stenciling the image on that with molding paste and then after it dried I shaped it around the cone. It worked perfectly! I used gesso on the cone and then sprayed it with Prima Iris Color Bloom Spray. I used some Petaloo flowers, Leaky Shed chipboard pieces and some small buds from a flower arrangement to fill the cone. It's a small Mother's Day gift for my mom. I hope she like it!
