I love this fancy pants paper and I've been addicted to square cards. Also, cannot get enough of that sentiment from the new hostess level three set: Time Well Spent. I hope there are more brilliant sentiments in the new catty--especially in sets that you can buy or are easier to acquire.
This flower was made using the emboss resist technique on glossy white cardstock. Click on the link below to my blog if you'd like to see a better pic for details.) :0)
How to:
First, I sponge daubed the turquoise colours on it, then I stamped the "Looks Like Spring" flower in versamark and embossed with clear e.p. Then I sponged black over it, wiped the excess ink and added silver zigpainty. Finally I used a sanding block to take off most of the silver. Then cut it out.
The beaded center was made with wire, from S.U.'s wire works. I just beaded it one loop at a time and twisted it together. Threading it through a hole punched in the middle of the flower-- and putting that little paper bit in the center--hides my messy wire work. It keeps it sturdy too. The flower is on top of a pop up glue dot. Other cardstock used: "Chocolate Chip," Cool Caribbean," and "River Rock."
You can't see it, perhaps, but the main card has versamarked acrylic stamps (fancy pants in the garden)
Thanks so much for taking the time to look,
