Don't panic! I have n't been anywhere near the kitchen again! No! Friday was hopefully my only cooking exploit this decade and now I am back to much more enjoyable past times ... like ...erm ... making a mess really!
During my class yesterday I found a few minutes to play ... I say few ... there was more than a few but not quite as many as several so I chose not to exaggerate on this occasion ... and you all know how I like to exaggerate ... so this should make for a nice surprise.
Basically I took my demo canvas and my demo rose and I made this ... it is on a much smaller scale than the 8" X 8" the ladies used in the class (5" X 5" I think!) but I quite like it's smallness! I find myself rather surprised that smallness is actually a word at this point!
The rose is painted with Kaiser Mocha acrylic ... the metal is TSS Hot Chocolate and the canvas is painted with Kaiser Raw Umber. I then used some Gold Metallic Alcohol inks on the metal square and generously spritzed anything and everything in sight with Crafty Notions Antique Gold and Tattered Angels Walnut Gold!!! Great fun!
I added Lord Tim of Holtz's fab corners on my return home ... it needed something and I just love those corners ... you know Tim ... the man that can build an Olympic stadium in his coffee break while qualifying for the 100 metres with just a reel of tissue tape and a smoosh of Ranger Jet Black Archival ink! Ya see ... now I am surprised that smoosh is n't a word and neither is spritzed ... but smallness is!!!
Well that is me for today ... I am constructing something else as we speak ...
Laters!

Stunning... that is absolutely gorgeous!
Wow this is fabulous.
I had a go at making some roses with Grunge Paper, but they haven't turned out quite as good as yours - more practise is required !!!!

Linda, this is so completely stunning! I love the colour on the rose, just beautiful.
Yummy, yummy, lovely mocha-y colours. Can you please move the rose to the top left corner of the metal so I can see it in all it's glory? Thanks, didn't think it would be any trouble!
love all that glimmery gorgeousness and I am definitely in the need more practice club....hugs kath xxx
Gorgeous hun :D

Love this! It's really rich looking with the different golds and browns, fab!
Totally yummy Linda, loving those corners and that rose looks like it would smell of caramel!
Really smoosh SHOULD be a word, maybe you should get onto the Oxford dictionary people and request it!
They always say women are great a multi tasking but I need to try typing AND creating at the same time LOL - another valuable lesson from you ;-)

Just gorgeous!!! think you must of been influenced by that tub of ben and jerrys, has a look of mocha chocolate cookie dough!!
Love all the Gold! Thanks for the laugh as always! Smoosh and spritz have to be words I use them in daily activities. I love to smoosh my flowers after I've spritz them to give them a vintage feel.
Another fab creation. Wow that Hot Chocolate is gorgeous. Annette x
I just love those colours - so rich - so chocolaty LOL
A really lovely piece.
Toni :o)

Well Linda, you mention the words Mocha ........ and Chocolate ........... so my response to this little beauty is ...........YUMMY!!!
I would definitely have though spritzed was a word so I'm surprised too.

Hi Linda - just waving to say 'hello'.
A little YUMMY is the word for this - just lovely. According to the Free Dictionary spritzed is a word = A quick squirt or spray, and smoosh = to squash or smash! HeeHee ...

Lovely mini project. Chocolate and gold, mmmmmmmm. I'm only just back from holidays and I've got to find my desk before I can do any creating. All the stuff I bought after the last class I did with you is still on there and although I'm used to crafting in small spaces I do still need some space. See you on Friday for more inspiration.
Stunning piece! Love the richness of the colors.
