Flower Shop

I’ve mentioned how much I love to fussy cut, however, a punch that goes with a stamp set is also fantastic!!  For this project, I used the Flower Shop stamp set and the Pansy Punch to punch them out.  It will help greatly to note; you should stamp them the way they are pictured on the box.  This way the pedal that is pointing down will help line up the punch.  I just used a “L” (for Lyndi) that I found at my local craft store, it was already painted white.  I’ll I needed to do was stamp and punch out the flowers and adhere them with glue dots.  I also used a little Silver Sparkle Dazzling Details in the center of the flowers that had a large white center.  This was my first time covering something completely with flowers, the thing I would change next time, I would curl them more (I used a bone folder and slid the pedals between it and my thumb) and the bottom flowers I would not adhere so close to the bottom, so that the “L” could stand.  This one I’ll hang up though. I also punch a few flowers with the Blushing Bride Glimmer paper to fill in some of the gaps.  I’m really liking the look of this, and think I may also try butterflies and other stamp sets.  I have lots of friends and family with different initials I could make this for.
