foam paper & stamens, watch the tutorial at https://youtu.be/Oma6ctVmUD0.
Instructions: Start by cutting the
parts for the centerpiece according to the directions found here out of a combination of white card stock and designer paper from the Beary Fun
Retreat Paper Collection. Now it's time for some Foam Fun! Working
with foam is fun and I really enjoyed it. The end result is a more realistic
flower then the traditional paper flower.
Let's start with the Enchanted
Mums first. Stamp the Enchanted Mum flowers on Art Foam Paper
using StazOn Jet Black ink and die cut with the matching die before coloring
with DairyLide Yellow and Red Iron Oxide Pan Pastels. Now using your
Flower Shaping Tools and the Heat It tool, gently heat the flowers and shape
them holding them in place briefly after removing the heat. Once you have
your layers formed and assembled finish with the Rock Candy-Small stamens.
Next stamp the Classic
Sunflowers on Art Foam Paper using Jet Black ink and die cut with the
matching die before coloring with Orange, Yellow Green, Red Iron Oxide and
Magenta Pan Pastels. Now using your Flower Shaping Tools and the Heat
it tool, gently heat the flowers and shape them holding them in place briefly
after removing the heat. Once you have your layers formed and assembled,
finish with Assorted Bright-Medium stamens.
Finally stamp Vines and Leaves from the Classic Rose Collection and the Delightful Daisies Cling Stamp set on
white cardstock using Olive Green and die cut with the coordinating dies before
distressing with Bamboo Leaves and Rusty Hinge inks. Cut a sentiment from paper
pad and adhere on a flower stick, finish with a bow.
