Don’t you just LOVE when you receive an order AND get extra stuff to play with? Like I did last week…I received an order from PetSmart and they had TONS of the brown shipping paper stuffed in the box. AND the long sheets were perforated so I was able to make a pile of smaller sheets… easier to store. YAY!
But as soon as I saw that paper, I knew that I wanted to use it with my “Spiral Flower” die! See:
How to:
Now when you look close, you can see that the flower is 2-toned. I simply cut TWO spiral from the packing paper and set one aside. The other one I’ve inked up with my Chocolate Chip inkpad. I didn’t like the uneven ink and lines on there, so I spritzed it with rubbing alcohol pretty wet and that made the ink bleed and color it nicely… I let that dry.
Then I picked up both spiral and layered them on top of one another, with the darker one behind the lighter. Using the angled tweezers I rolled both spirals together! Then I scrunched the petals a little more (so easy to do with this thin paper…) and used HOT GLUE to adhere the bud to the end piece. I also added some glue between the 2 end pieces of the 2 spirals for extra security.
Soooo easy – and I love the vintage look. Just wait until I pull out our Creped Filter Paper!
There are 2 items that I’ve used on this card that I want to point out as they are becoming fast favorites of mine..
