Love this Look for Less: 3-D Flowers Continue
So, while scrap lifting myself, I made some errors. First, I did not have all the correct carts in my Jukebox. So, my scallops on the outside of my lace paper did not cut. I realized I could make my own, using my new Stampin Up punches. But, I wasn't careful enough on the first side and had to hide my mis-punch. I decided to try another 3-D flower from SVGcuts to embellish my mistake. This one is from the 3-D Flowers SVG Kit (in the garden section of the store). Don't you LOVE this look for less?! I would have paid $3.99 or more for two Prima flowers, instead, I got 37 flowers, I can cut endlessly, for $5.99! This flower is the begonia. I inked the edges on one flower and sanded the edges on another. I used the glue dots I made myself using the Aileen's Tack It Over and Over.
I also cut the subtitle out of paper too close in color to the title color. To help this standout, I underlined it with a pen in brown. Then, put my A through my Xyron on the wrong side. I glittered the top and then glued it down correctly. I love that my mistakes lead me to beautiful embellishments! And I love that I can make my own gorgeous embellishments on the cheap at any time of day without running to the LSS! I realized when I had glued everything on the page, that I need to make some more flowers and get out my new glitter mist! Oh, there will be no housework done today!
Love your flowers Clare. The LO looks great all finished.
