METHOD OF WORKING:-

-Color the flowers with the pink mists.
-Stamp the ...title (the door to a friend house) on the tag.
-Ink the edges with the distress ink
-Run along the edges with the cats eye ink.
-Ink the cut frames, only one, the top that will be showing, that is if it blends in with regards
 color.
-Glue one on top of the other only on the solid frame. This will give a lifted effect.
-Add foam tape to this solid frame...I know it is a pain, but worth it.
-Paint leaves with glimmer mist-green and when dry cut each leaf apart/separating the three.x8
  setting aside a few leaves for the rose bud.
-Fold the leaf on the end letting it be a 3d leaf.Glue to hold the shape.
-For the rose buds.Ball 3 of the stamped flowers to a ball, using the balling tool and mat.
-Glue to hold shape.
-Cut one of the stamped leaves for the buds. Glue this. you need three of these.Look to photos.
-The rose. Make a ball as above. Ball two of the stamped flowers just a little so it stays open.
  Glue the bud on top of these flowers molding with your fingers.
-Paint the stamped land scape with distress inks using water and brush. Just play with the colors.
-Glue this on to the tag when dry.
-Glue the frame on top with the foam tape.
-Tuck the leaves under the frame on the left corner.
-Place the leaves on the frame. Making sure the placement is good before gluing.
-Add the ribbon.
-Place and glue the flowers.
-Trace around the frame with the glossy.Add a dab of glossy to the windows on the houses.
  See the photo above.
-Add gold stickles in the corners. Not too much, smear with your fingers.
-Gesso the DA Dragonfly. Then add glimmer mist for the color when dry.
-Position, then glue.
-Add a little stickles to the tips of the wings.
-To finish add the ribbon to the tag

This was fun! Now for a few close ups.

You can not see the glossy on the windows very well in the photo. But it is there and you can see it in real life. you have the glossy out and in your hand any  way.

 Well worth all that work...making these flowers. Just love the stamped effect! You could also emboss these with ....but that is another tutorial.......

Just love these flowers! Hope you do too. Any questions on the tags or flowers, just leave a message on the comments and I shall get back to you. 

Love to read your comments any way. 

I hope I have been able to inspire you to break out of your safe box and try something new.

 I think the stamps are well worth investing in as you can use them again and again and again.....Have a scrappy time making these and I wish you all, happy scrappy thoughts & hugs, Susan. oxoxoxox
