Eclectic Paperie Challenge

Eclectic Paperie Challenge
This is my entry for 'The Altered Spoon Challenge' over on Eclectic Paperie. The petals are made from melted plastic spoons, coloured with adirondack inks and highlighted with stickles. The leaves were hand cut using shaped scissors. I used a ball tool to emboss the veins and highlighted them with Tim Holtz distress ink. There is a good instruction guide on You tube outlining the methodology and safety precautions.

  5. Oh my word, Sandy. This flower is just beautiful. I can't believe it stated life as plastic spoons. The petals curl so wonderfully they look real. Great job on the leaves and the gorgeous centers, too. I'm so glad you joined our Altered Spoon challenge at eP. I'm going to have to watch the how-to on YouTube. Very cool!
