More of My Faux Art Parts

I really really want those Wendy Vecchi art parts, but can't find them yet, so I'm back to improvising.  A good friend and fellow artist is having a birthday soon, so I thought I'd make something for her.  Wendy's blog has been full of inspiration lately, and though I'd rather be using those wonderful components she calls art parts, I'll work with what I can find until the real thing is available.

I cut the sunflowers from coasters with a sizzix die and inked them with vintage photo and wild honey.  The cylinders (toilet paper rolls, cut down.  shhhh.....) are covered with paper from Tim's lost and found stack.  I recently won a package of dotted grungeboard on ATT, and used a sheet to cut some flourishes.

The "resident artist" stamp is by Wendy, and was stamped with black archival ink on the largest of the tattered florals, which I then cut down and attached to the bottom layer.

Tiny holes were punched in some of the sunflower petals so the type charms could be attached.

Here's a side view:

Topping the whole  thing is a flower made from grungeboard, and cut with Tim's tattered florals die.  The bottom layer was covered with a page of text.  The top layer was inked, covered with clear embossing powder and heat set.  The brad in the center is from SU.
