A Peek Into My Stamping Room: Dotted Swiss Flowers!

Dotted Swiss Flowers!

This week over at Discount Cardstock, Bazzill Dotted Swiss Trio packs are the featured cardstock. This cardstock is really neat. It has a cool dotted dry embossing already on the paper. When you get a trio pack, you receive three coordinating colors. On this card, I used the Bazzill Dotted Swiss Blissful and Cloverleaf trio packs.

Here is how I made the flower!

You will need these supplies:

Bazzill Dotted Swiss Blissful Trio - 1/2 sheet of Sunset
Bazzill Dotted Swiss Cloverleaf Trio - 1/4 sheet of Celtic Green
Rose Creation Dies - Spellbinders Paper Arts
Brad
Glimmer Mist or Water - here I made my own glimmer mist using Pearl-Ex, Water and Gum Arabic - I am just cheap that way!! LOL

First step is to cut/emboss 5 of the dies out of the Sunset Dotted Swiss cardstock. Cut/emboss the 2 largest leaves from this set, too.

Step two is to stack all the flowers together and put a brad in the middle hole to hold them together. I couldn't decide which brad to use.......

Step three is to mist the flower really good and start scrunching it together. Like this!

Step Four is to start spreading out the flower petals and mist again. Then using a Heat Tool, dry your flower.

Once the flower is dry, add the leaves to the back using glue dots.

Then use your flower on your project!! The Bazzill Dotted Swiss Cardstock cuts and embosses so well plus it holds together great when using water/mists. You should give it a try!!
