Two of Me


Recently there was a submission call and the theme was
"Two of Me"
Although I didn't take that call I've been wanting to take that challenge
Cardstock: So Saffron, Close to Cocoa, Bordering Blue, and Very Vanilla
Ink: More Mustard, Close to Cocoa, Bordering Blue, Old Olive
Stamp Set: Garden Whimsy
Accessories: slit punch, pop dots, sponge daubers, markers Close to Cocoa, Ruby Red
Basic Black, lunch bag, Coluzze cutting system with circle template, gold brads
window punch

How the Flower Frame was made: Cut So Saffron to 5x5 square, lay the circle template on top of this piece. Cut out a circle using the third circle from the outer edge of the circle template. Snip the circle out. Next insert the slit punch into the circle and punch all the way around the circle. The object is to make a frame not to punch out a circle so leave just a little bit of space in between each punch. I then pierced the center of each petal, and curved them towards the center of the frame with a bone folder. To make the petals stand out I sponged More Mustard ink on each of them.
Cut Very Vanilla to 5 x 5 square. Stamp images in the center. These will show though the Flower Frame. Next turn the Flower frame over and add pop dots to the corners. Adhere the frame on top of the Very Vanilla piece. Layer this over 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 Close to Cocoa square. Then last step layer on top of 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 Bordering Blue base card.
The bag is a lunch bag that was cut down an bit and cardstock adhered to the front and back. I cut the back piece longer than the front so I could fold it down over the bag. The Bordering Blue scallop was also made using the slit punch.

Gotta run......I need to get dressed and visit mom
