To make the black and white polka dot blooms I used a flower punch on black cardstock and used a white gel pen to draw the outlines and dots. Just use the tips of your fingers to give the petals a rounded effect. Another page I made using this kit (can you tell I got a new flower punch LOL!!!!).....
......and one more from the same kit! (with lot's still left to play with!!) The blooms I made here I first saw done by one of the talented ladies at MCS, Julia and also done by her daughter Sandie....I had to give them a try! easy and fun to do! Julia gave a tutorial at MCS on how to make these cute blooms! http://mycreativescrapbook.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=520 ......Everything you need is in the kit, I even used the transparent backing from the rub-on package to make my clear scalloped matting on this page, ...I just inked the edges to make it stand out better (talk about going green right? :D .....
The Creative kit this month had really cute winter papers in it from My Minds Eye, along with some pretty glitter laser cut snowflake paper and cute flourishy rub-ons....lots of silver glittery chipboard embellies too!! Here is a page I made with this kit! I was in a rush to get this one in under the deadline and managed to make it in one hour!! I cut the blooms out of cardstock and doodled on them to give them a 'stitched' look!....
But that's not it!!! There's an awesome Add-on kit with the warm soothing colours I like so much by Cosmo Cricket! Lots of pretty extra's in this kit too!! a pretty cut paper flourish, Hambley frame overlays (love those!!!), pretty blooms and lots of lovely ribbon and lace! Here are a couple of l/o's I made with this kit!......
I made the 'jewel' border by using a gold dimensional paint and adding stickles! .....here is a second page I made using the same add-on kit!......
