Doodle Flowers with Joy Clair~

Hi guys!

It is my turn on the Joy Clair blog.

I have two cards to share using the same stamps just two

 different looks!

I started this card with the idea of one jar on the front and this happened ~

Too cute, so I had to use them all.  The jars were lightly colored with watered down Distress Oxide ink and trimmed out.  The stems were stamped on the jars and the flowers colored with Distress Oxides, trimmed and cut out.  Dimensional adhesive was use for added interest.  The jars filled with flowers were added to the crackle background and adhered to coordinating cardstock.  Butterflies were added using dimensional adhesive also.  To complete the card twine was added to the bottom of the card. The card front was adhered to a folded card.

The second was created in the same manner just a different background.  To create this background I used watered down Distress Oxides and a stencil.  I love using the Distress Oxide in this way.  You can create some really beautiful backgrounds for projects.

Spring is in the air

I made these cute flowers using outdated phone book pages. I cut the flowers and phone book page on my "big shot" then adhered to the chip board. Then I cut a smaller flower out of felt for the center and added a button and some hemp, for the tie.

What a great look for a scrapbook page or an altered project or thos bind-it-all ( 4x4) note books. If you don't have a "big shot" you can still make the flowers using some pre-cut chipboard shapes. Great project and very fun and isn't that what it is about " FUN". Have a great day!!!
