Just hangin' around....



At last I've managed to make a card for the Pan Pastel challenge which this week is to Make an Embellishment'. My 'embellishments' are the flowers which I've punched out with an EK Success retro punch, inked the edges, moulded, layered up, scrunched and then for the centres used Cosmic Shimmer glue covered in Fairy Dust. I've seen flowers made similar to this with the Tonic Petal Pairs punches but I don't have any - yet - so am having a go with the punches I do have. I've tried using glue gel for the centres as in the demos but can't get a rounded shape with it and also to manage to smear it up the sides of the centres. For the main image I've used a Penny Black stamp - coloured with Promarkers. The bp is from a Crafty Individuals pad, the sentiment is a Hobby Art stamp and the leaves are a Cheery Lynn die.
Thanks very much for visiting today.
