Close-up shot of my flower. Usually I just stitch a detail shot together with my main picture, but I couldn't show this off properly that way, so this time it's getting it's own upload ;-).
For this week's WT challenge from Cathy ~ Tantalizing Texture, to use at least 3 different textures. (I have smooth flowers, embossed dots, and the burlap).
And (being short on time, as usual, I've doubled-up with the current CCEE Stampers challenge from Shirley to repurpose something. I more normally use my spare packaging for shaker or window cards, and as extra pieces to use with the Stamp-a-ma-Jig, so this was something different for me to try.
I used some plastic packaging and the Faux Glass Flowers tutorial.
I used Sizzix Daisies #2 for the flowers, colouring them with alcohol inks and stamping text on them with StazOn. The centre is a large Doodlebug gem. I used Sizzix Vines for the foliage, cutting it from burlap stuck to a double-sided adhesive sheet. The flower was added to a piece of white card embossed with Polka Dots and edged with a gold pen, and I added some gold cord to finish it off.
