2009-03-25 fan fold flower sample

This past week I had a couple of friends over and I showed each of them how to make a fan fold flower. THE TUTORIAL IS HERE.

This morning when I saw the sketch challenge at SplitCoast I figured I would just go ahead and put a flower on that too since I had a flower thing going in my head all week. SC221 Gallery Samples; and SC221 link to actual sketch

I went with a 6 inch square card and pieced together some scraps of rust paper to cover the only large piece of card stock I had on hand. (Yeah I know, I always do it the hard way…I am just trying to use up pieces of what I have on hand). From there I just followed the sketch and covered with assorted DSP (decorative scrapbook papers). The words for you are by Kolette Hall…it is a $1 stamp that I bought at Michael’s Craft Store.

Before I glued the rust down to the base I embossed it with a mini cuttlebug corner that I had laying out from yesterday. This picture shows some of that detail.
I also used a Square scallop Nestability on one of the layers; and about a half a roll of 3-d mounting tape. Just kidding; but I did use a lot because IF I ever do mail this I don’t want it crushed in the middle.
