Hello! Welcome back to my blog. Today's project is about stretching your craft supplies especially during these times when craft supplies are not getting replenished in the stores or craft supplies are getting to be too impractical to buy. I used products from Kat Scrappiness which I listed below in case you are interested.
I worked on the bouquet first. I die cut the layered tulips on pink cardstock. This layered tulip die cuts five tulips but I selective die cut the stems and leaves to make a three tulip floral bunch. I die cut the center stem with the leaf and die cut the right most stem with the leaf. I die cut the latter again but keeping in mind that I will use the reverse side of the die cut. I used a smooth cutting plate for the mirror image die cut to prevent transferring the cuts from the cutting plate to the paper.
I blended ink on the back most layer of the tulip. I adhered the oval layering piece on top. I adhered the tulips to the stemps. I bunched the tulips together to create a three flower bouquet. I used a pocket die to cut the bouquet wrap on a brown paper. I wrapped this paper around the bouquet. I pinched the flower wrap on the middle where I wrapped a brown paper cord. I tied the paper cord into a bow. I squirted liquid glue to the paper cord to keep it secure.
I added white accents to the tulips using a white Wink of Stella.
I worked next on the background. To give the buffalo plaid a different look, instead of adhering it straight as it is intended for, I adhered it diagonally. I die cut two pieces of this background on white cardstock. I adhered the first background die to another white cardstock diagonal to the cardstock panel. I used the other buffalo plaid die cut to fill the open areas on the corners of the cardstock panel.
I flicked a pearl white ink to the panel.
I die cut the sentiment on the same pink cardstock I used for the tulips. I also die cut this sentiment on vellum. I adhered the vellum die cut on the cardstock die cut to make the color lighter compared to the color of the tulips.
I die cut the stitched strips on the same pink cardstock I used for the tulips. I adhered the strips underneath the words of the sentiment, sort of an underline. I adhered this to the buffalo plaid panel.
I applied clear Wink of Stella to the sentiment to add shimmer to it.
I adhered the wrapped bouquet to the panel.
I was going to stop here but I felt something was missing. True enough, it still needed a pop of color so I adhered the stitched strips on the edge of the buffalo plaid panel keeping the corners free of glue so I can snip the corners for a clean, diagonal look. I squirted a dot of glue underneath these snipped diagonal colors to adhere it.
I hope you like today's project. I recommend for you to look into your stash. You never know what you will come up with your craft stash.
Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
