Supplies:

Step 2
Punch one flower bottom. Ink edges then spray with water lightly. Pinch petals

Punch two of the large flower and 1 on the small flower. Lightly mist with glimmermist. Heat to dry


Step 4
Ink the edges and center


Step 5
snip into the petals


Step 6

Okay, don't laugh at my makeshift petal wrinkler. It just clay with ridges to impress into the petal.

This what it will look like:


Step 8
Take clean pliers and curl edges.

Step 13
Poke hole in middle and thread stamens through. Glue to other flowers

This week we bring you a precious layout by Barbara. The little fussy cut angel seems to be peeking out from behind a garden, and watching over the precious little girl. Love the touches of pink in the layout. The glimmer on the butterflies, and the bird cage tucked behind your beautiful flower clusters, The pearl swirls along the side of the photo are fabulous, and Barbara you must share how you did them!! Love the border on the bottom of the photo and if you go to Barbara's Blog, she will give you details on this. The layering is just wonderful!! The arrangement of the photo's is sheer perfection! Great job on this beautiful page!! We love it!!

This week, we bring to you the beautiful work of Effie Stamateli from Greece. Kalós orísate!! (That's Welcome in Greek ya'll!!) Look deep into your Swirlydoos stash of leftovers (you have leftovers??) and you may find all of the ingredients to create this page if you are so inspired, as we were!! Love the way the column was fussy cut and how the paper under the matted photo was shaped and stitched. The flower cluster and flourishing pearls add a beautiful elegance to the page. This is a photo of Effie, and she tells us it was taken many years ago on the Rhine in Düsseldorf, Germany. Gorgeous photo of you!! Effie tells us that in creating this page about herself, she says she doesn't talk a lot, but she is very good at understanding people and therefore is a good listener. Now we know, she is also a great Scrapbook artist as well!! Beautiful work Effie!! We would love to see more!
