Saturday July 30, 2011 Card Patterns sketch

One card FIVE challenges... first off for any that saw my tutorial last week on my flower and I mentioned a great flower that can be made for a man card.. Well this is the flower although it's not on a man card. With the cards I was making I just did not make that kind of card to use it but thought you could still see what I was talking about. I think it's called a lolly pop flower.. Its just different size circle punches then distressed the edges, then wet them and scrunched them up and semi dried them then kind of un-folded them, stacked them and added the brad then scrunch to shape and heat tool tried more being careful to stay away from the brad. Hope you try it. I love it for manly cards or any cards.
