Crafty Individuals challenge....Spring!

And boy WAS it a challenge.....pastel colours? me? girly flowers?
That is exactly what a challenge is all about though, and in the end I had a blast making my 'thing'.....
I say 'thing' because I'm not sure what to call this! Maybe stick to the literal, so.....introducing 'Flowers on Springs'!!!

The hearts from plate CI-342 were stamped multiple times onto painted cardstock and acetate, then cut out and assembled as flowers.

  I covered a base with text paper, then painted a background using the same colours. Both flowers and base were sprayed and splatted with silver Krylon. I then made some coils from wire to hold the flowers up, which is when I discovered that coils as long as these won't hold up anything as heavy as stamped cardstock...........!! Plan B, paint some bamboo skewers silver and use them as support inside the coils! Plenty of hot glue to adhere the coils to the base, and then add some butterflies (CI-333) to hide the glue!

Its actually quite sturdy, despite the coils looking like they're going to bend at any minute!
Why not pop over to the Crafty Individuals Blog to see what everyone else made of the theme?
