March 2009
Supplies included in kit:
1 sheet Scribble Scrabble-Evelyn’s Collection-Bubbly Blooms pattern paper
1 sheet Scribble Scrabble-Evelyn’s Collection-Evelyn’s Pretty Pieces die cuts

Various buttons

Products used but not included in kit:White Soufflé pen
Glossy, Sepia and Crackle accents
3D adhesive
Glue Dots
Stickles – various colors
Glimmer Mist – Pearl, Green Tea, Kiwi
Flower punches
Scallop punch
Chalk or distressing ink

Directions:
1. Cut 6” x 12” strip from Bubbly Blooms (flowered) paper. Use scallop punch on one long side of strip.
2. Measure 1 ½” from each side and mark on straight 12” side. Cut in a diagonal from scallop edge to 1 ½” mark. If desired, ink edges with green or brown ink.
3. Cut 12” section of red rickrack. Attach to flower paper about ½” from scalloped top. This strip will be our “flower pot” on the first page.
4. Spray popsicle sticks with Kiwi Glimmer Mist. Spray title letters with Kiwi Glimmer Mist. Set aside to dry.
5. Use Soufflé pen to decorate buttons. Soufflé ink goes on clear or milky. Let dry to get raised effect. You can outline button shapes, decorate with dots or draw your own design on each button.
6. Punch flowers out of Pretty Pieces die cut page. Embellish as desired.

Here are some ideas:
A. Use Sepia Accents to outline flower shape and/or create petals.
B. Ink edges with light brown ink.
C. Use Soufflé pen to outline flower shape. Make dots with soufflé pen on flower. Once soufflé ink dries cover dots with Glossy Accents.
D. Once all elements dry, layer with other flowers and use buttons or brads for flower centers.
E. Cover flower with thick layer of Crackle Accents. Set aside to dry.
F. Use Stickles to embellish and outline flowers. Stickles can also be used to attach clear buttons and have glitter underneath them.
G. Use desired Glimmer Mist colors to spray flowers.
H. Ink edges of leaves, spray with glimmer mist or trace with soufflé pen to add definition to leaf die cuts.
I. Use flower punches to create more flowers if desired.


7. Once all flower elements are dry, layer flowers, buttons or brads, and leaves on 10 popsicle sticks. Leave three flowers without sticks to use as accents. Create at least 13 flowers.
8. Use 3D adhesive (foam dots or pop dots) to attach scallop “flower pot” to bottom of first sheet of Kelli Green Bazzill Cardstock. Only attach at bottom and sides to provide a place to slip the flowers in.
9. Attach 7 flowers (2 big, 5 small) in flower pot at varying heights. (The other 3 will be used in our bonus project.)
10. Cut Hong Kong yellow cardstock at 5 ½”. Cut 5 ½” strip in to two pieces,
one 7 ½” x 5 ½” and one 4 ½”x 5 ½”. Turn 7 ½”x 5 ½” vertical and scallop bottom edge. Turn 4 ½”x 5 ½” strip horizontal and scallop bottom edge.
11. From remaining cardstock cut two blocks: one 6” x 4 ½” and one 6” x 3”. Turn 6 x 4 ½” block vertical and scallop bottom edge. Turn 6” x 2 ½” block horiztonal and scallop both top and bottom edges.
12. Punch out 2 flowers from Very Cherry pattern paper and three flowers from Bubbly Blooms. Attach flowers across the middle of the small yellow scalloped strip. Attach title chipboard letters over flowers. Dot “I” in Spring with a button!
13. Use remaining rickrack at the bottom of each of the photo mats. Place the large photo mat (7 ½”x 5 ½”) to the left side of the 2nd sheet of Kelli Green cardstock about 1” from top of page and ½” from left side. Place 5 ½” x 4 ½” a ½” from top and a ½” from right side. Place 6” x 4 ½” photo mat a ½” below the previous photo mat and one inch from the right side of the layout.
14. Attach three flowers not on sticks just below large photo mat as an accent. Use 3D adhesive to give it extra dimension.

Bonus Project: Flower Pot
1. Cut name strip off of Very Cherry paper.
2. Use glue dots to attach strip, name side down, to small terra cotta pot.
3. Attach remaining rickrack over the paper strip with glue dots.
4. Place Styrofoam ball in pot.
5. Insert 3 remaining popsicle stick flowers.
6. Use moss to cover Styrofoam ball.
7. Give to someone to brighten their day!
