So, I knew that I needed to go digging in the already finished images pile to find something to start building layers with, found this image ( painted it sometime last fall and cut it maybe in January and stuck it back in the bin right in front of the panel behind it) decided the colors looked good enough together. grabbed the corrugate ( it was a bigger scrap) I taped it to a square die and cut it out with scissors so it would not flatten. decided it was too big chopped it up with scissors smaller. the sentiment was too wide to diecut with the top layer to this die set, cut it out with scissors, ruined the first shimmery bottom layer trying to get it out of the die, used it for a mat under the sentiment, stuffed some wax paper into the die did it again, used the PTI blue for the top part of the die, added some crystal stickles glue to the swirls and foam pop dots to the back.
and yep, it still took almost the whole hour. ( which is typical when I am trying to force something) but, I think it turned out pretty cute, Thanks for this challenge, Lee & tfl.
