Clear Scraps Project Post

Hello everyone! It's Irene here again. Today, I would like to share with you a layout that I've created using some Clear Scraps acrylic flowers. Besides the acrylic stars in my last blog post, the acrylic flower is the next most used item on tons of my projects.

Here are some details on it.

 
Here are the steps to create the flowers.

1) Ink the acrylic flower with various alcohol inks. You can combine a few colours of alcohol ink. Use an alcohol ink applicator to create the marble effect.

2) Use a scissors to cut in between each petal of the acrylic flower. Tip: Do not cut all the way to the middle.

3) Turn the flower over to it's back and use a black Zig Painty marker or acrylic paint to highlight the edges of the flower. 

4) Turn the flower to its front and then punch a hole in the middle of it. Fold up all the petals.

5) Highlight the edges of each petal with Stickles. 

6) Fold a paper doily with pleats to form a circle and ink it's edges with distress ink. Attach it to the middle of the acrylic flower and onto the layout with a decorative brad.

Isn't this easy? You can create these acrylic flowers in tons of different colours to match your projects. If you can't find a paper doily, why not use a flower punch and punch out a paper flower to add to the acrylic flower instead. Try it! You can check out more details on this layout at my blog!
