Visible Image Total chaos

The new Visible Image release launched on Saturday and is selling like hot cakes. One of the new sets is particularly popular as it is a bigger version of Creative Chaos, one of their best selling sets and a real favourite of so many stampers, including me.

Please can I introduce you to Total chaos

This is a large A5 size set which means that there are now 3 sizes of the awesome inky flower. A tiny version is in the new Accessorize set a small and very reasonable priced A7 size set. I will share some projects made with this very soon.

and this of course is the original

Creative Chaos which is an A6 size set.

The very first card I ever made with Creative Chaos is this card in January 2019 

I used book pages from my beloved A Tale of 2 cities for the bloom and it is my most pinned card on Pinterest. Here it is

So when I saw the new Total Choas I knew I just had to use book pages again, as I did for my first make with Creative Chaos and this time I decided to make a canvas.

This is what I got up to;
(Apologies that there are not a lot of process photos here as I have been so busy making samples. I just did not get time to stop and keep taking snaps especially with very inky hands).
I decided I wanted to make  a background to make me think ahead to spring days and used lots of ink sprays and water on heavyweight watercolour paper. They are a mix of distress sprays; pine needles, mustard seed, wild honey, grass and turquoise Dylusions greens plus some tarnished brass metallic spray.

I cut myself a 5 x 7" piece from it and stamped the flower to get an outline and placement for my canvas.

I then stamped the scribble stamp over the top in orange archival ink.
Out came my well used Tale of 2 cities and I stamped the flower and 2 of the small flowers onto a page and cut them out. I also added some stamping around the edge of the canvas using archival ink and the other background stamps.
I stamped the sentiment onto a snippet of card, cut it out and mounted it on black card. I added Glossy Accents to the large circle and to some of the circles in the background, I wanted it to appear as dewdrops.

Here is my finished canvas; You can see it in the flesh on the Visible Image Facebook LIVE tonight.
