I cut flowers from the pattern paper and also did some die cut flowers. One of the dies I used was a new Spellbinders, Spirell-Rounded Petals. When I looked at the back of the package there were instructions for this technique where you wrap embrodiery thread around the spikes that stick out. You can adjust the diameter of the inner circle depending on how many spikes are in between the thread.
On this blue flower I only had three in between I think. I also filled the center with Crystal Effects. The larger flower on the left has Stickels dabbed and drawn on to the petals.
I used a Tim Holtz mask on the upper and lower parts of the layout and then used distress inks to shaed all around them. I also sprinkled a little water all over to get that speckled effect.
Have a Good Weekend again everyone.

This layout came out gorgeous. Love the colors and how you used the pizza box packaging. Very creative!
WOWSA!!! This is a beautiful layout!!! So many things to look at and so many embellishments. So much work put into it!! I am so simple compared to your stuff. I totally appreciate the time you have put into your pages though. I call this Scrapbook ART!!!
Really like your layout because you made most of the embellishments yourself. Liked the pizza box packaging ideal too!
Super cool ideas, thanks so much for sharing. I love the end results with the embroidery floss with the flower spikes. I also really lobe the masking in the background and the water added for a speckled effect. Great LO, so inspirational.
