Little flowers

Today I want to show you, who you can create depth with little flowers made with the amazing flower dies. First you have to punch out many, many little flowers. Then we need dotting tools in different sizes. I'm using some which are normally used for fondant, and a relatively soft pad (cork or foam). I'm placing the flower in front of my, reverse side up, and move the dotting tool along the edge, so they are bending upwards slowly. You need some patience and diligence for this. When I'm satisfied with the result, I'm turning it and press it...

Hey guys! Stacie here to share how I did this splatter background! First I used my Misti and stamped the cute little bunny stamp in the center of my paper. Then I used Post-It Note Tape to stamp my image again. It was just barely too big for one piece of tape so I used washi tape to help keep the 2 pieces together.
