It's been a great 2 days...

So far I am really enjoying my vacation......I decided I wanted to make some different flowers that I can use for a multitude of ways.......thought I would share the cut files I created...which you will find below each mock up I made of the different flowers........

For this first one I resized the flower in Inkscape a couple times then brought into SCAL and cut I also used the leaves I created...they are below the last flower I'm sharing.......I cut all the flowers for each of the designs with white cardstock and then decorated all of them with an aray of Tim Holtz Distress Inks, Embossing sleeves, Rubber Stamps, Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Powders, sanding block and brads.......If you have any questions on the techniques I used on any of these please feel free to email me and I'll be happy to try and answer your questions.....

The next project I worked on was this ATC....I had to do 12 of these for a swap in the Paper Craft Planet ATC group.......I took an image into Corel PSP and removed the color from it and printed it off onto watercolor paper......I then used my Watercolor pencils to color the lady's clothes, hat & bow.....I used my Copic flesh color marker to color her face and neck....I used my Copic colorless blender and some of my Tim Holtz alchol inks to color her feathers in her hat......the background of the image I used several different layers of Tim Holtz Distress Ink......stippeling it on with makeup sponges........The frame I designed and cut with my Cricut...designed in Inkscape and brought into SCAL and cut........then I coated with Versamark pad and coated with Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Powder in Walnut Stain and embossed....I LOVE the aged metal look it gives them....love love love that look!!!! Wrapped 2 colors of ribbon and added 3 purple rhinestones of staggering sizes.......With having to do 12 of these it definatley took some time but I am happy with the results.....I LOVE the look the Watercolor pencils give!!!
