Today I chose to give my girlfriends Flower Power , I used the Shoppers Front SKU # T3568 stamp , these girls mean business and they are on a mission , who doesn’t love to go shopping with the girlfriends .I colored them with my copic markers and then cut them out and popped them up on foam tape, added the metal flower on top of a tulle bow.
first you trim off the top and bottom and cut it down the side
next you cut it out using a steel wool die ( I used the Sizzix Flower,Daisies ) this will not dull the die it will sharpen it ,cut 2 small and 2 med for this card
next because I did not have a can the color I needed I used my copic marker to change the color (RV19 ) , because these are alcohol based markers the will color metal
layer it up randomly bending the petals to make it come to life add , a brad to hold it all together .. trash to treasure , I hope you give this a try .. PS .the metal is folded down when cut into flowers and will not be sharp so it is safe , but be careful when cutting your can open ,the metal may be thin, but it is very sharp.
