Project Instructions:

Other products:  Cut file, White Card Stock, Flower sticks, Pan Pastel Flower Coloring Kit, Rusty Hinge Distressed Ink, Ribbon from my stash and die cutting machine.

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 Mum’s 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 on white card stock using Olive Green and die cut with the matching dies before distressing with Bamboo Leaves and Rusty Hinge inks.

Have a wonderful day!  Hope to see you very soon.
