Then I couldn't stand it any longer, and had to go play with something in the Studio. It can only last for so long....
I had cut the cool Lavish Trimming that has the elastic middle, in half for a previous project, so this gorgeous piece of trim was sitting there, lonely.
~
The Baubles are so wonderful, you know they have to be used for something really special. SO.......put them together!!!!!
~
Glue the trim around the oblong pearl with the fabulous eye pin center, and just keep gluing and turning until you've used about a foot of the trim.
~
Draw a couple of leaves onto the Grungeboard Swirls leaving them attached at the center in a bow shape. Use Distress Inks Bundled Sage all over and Forest Moss on the edges.
~
Punch a hole with the Cropadile in the center. A permanent black pen creates the outline and center of the leaves. One single leave is made to create the set of 3. The grouping was sprayed with Sunflower Sparkle Perfect Pearls Mist.
~
The Bauble fits nicely through the punched hole. This piece can be added to whatever project you like.

Yes, people, you need to leave more comments 'cause she's gettin' tired of hearing from me all the time.... rofl.... and oh my gawd, I just realized I'm on THE blog list, how honored am I? Takes me a while to see these things... I think this flower is superb and just a stellar idea for the trim and the bauble. It's also great that the leaves are one piece, less gluing and worrying about it staying together. Brilliant! I love reading your posts and how you create pieces, great inspiration! I wouldn't change a thing except to say can you post art several times a day? lol!
