Other Materials Used:

Liquied Acrylic Pearlescent Paint - Yellow
Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Walnut Stain
Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Pine
Stazon - Black
Spellbinderz Die - Cogs
Die Cutting Machine
Martha Stewart Around the Page Punch Set 

• Step 1 - Stamp some flat Prim flowers using black stazon ink.  I have used a music and script stamp for two different effects on my "Sprites" flowers.

• Step 2 - Glimmermist up the flowers in complimentary colors to the papers.  I chose Tattered Angels Chalkboard Glimmermist - Cornflower, love that colour and it works wonderfully with these papers.

• Step 3 - Cut 2 from Londonerry paper, light blue floral (from the 6x6 part of the paper), 2 inches x 6 inches. Ink and distress edges. It is easier to slip these pieces in once you have the dark blue paper in place.
• Step 4 - Use a die cutting machine to cut out your cogs from Prima chipboard, paint white with gesso and once dry ink the edges with distress ink.
• Step 5 - Cut 1 from dark Blue Londonerry paper, 5 inches x 10.25inches.  Use your Matha Steward around the page punch set to create the decorative edge according to the instruction. Ink edges and stick down, ensuring you can slip the previously cut paper inder the edge at this time if you did not stick it down before. Slip any cogs under the paper as shown before sticking down.
• Step 6 - Cut out your tag and then cut it in half, ink and distress edges. Slip one of your blue flowers under the corner as shown before sticking down on the light blue paper as shown.
• Step 7 - From the 6x6 part of the mustard yellow paper cut 2 sqares 3 inches x 3 inches, ink, distress and stick down on the dark blue paper as shown.
• Step 8 - Machine stitch around the edges of the different papers.  I did this after I had stuck down all the layers.

• Step 9 - allow some liquid acrylic paint to drop onto your page from the end of a pipette, gives a little splash of colour and added interest to the page.
• Step 10 - Using Tim Hotz Distress Ink, rub over your mask to leave a wonderful masked effect on your paper, I used an older piece of Strawberry Kisses paper as it had a lovely subtle text and light background) then carefully hand cut out around the outside edge. I always leave a bit of the green showing on the outer edge when I cut.

• Step 11 - Once this has been cut out it can be stuck down onto your page as shown.  Don't forget to arrange your flowers under the areas as you go.
• Step 12 - Cut 2 strips one from the Londonerry paper, the other from the spotted page of a 6x6 Alla Prima book (you could just use a sheet of the spots from the Alla Prima Line) and cut v's into them, ink distress and slip under the yellow tag paper as shown.

• Step 13 - Finish off with your photo and other embellishments, including the new resins and some twine twisted around your hand or fingers to create the circles of twine. 

Try sticking two book end resins together to create a new look embellishment!

Finish off your flower centres with Primas new SIIC centres, they have a wonderful new texture to them and are perfect for finishing off flowers!
