Layered Blooms

Hello friends

Today's project features Layered Blooms - one of the 
Contour steel rule dies.


It's been a while since I've used these sort of dies (having fully converted to Spellbinders!)
so it was quite a thrill to play around with these and use different mediums.

Here I've created a really simple flower from felt, I found a decorative pin
and the middle stamens are from a silk flower that got rather squashed in a box!


The Contour dies also work in other die cutting machines that take the
thicker dies although I have to say I love my Platinum machine. 

This weekend I'm putting together projects and classes for forthcoming
demos - don't forget to check out the Spellbinders link on the sidebar 
as to where I'm visiting next - I'm popping up everywhere!

Take care friends.

    Hi Christine. What a pretty flower, great for using in so.many ways. It's a shame you can't get frequent driver points like you can get frequent flyer points as you are out and about all over the place now aren't you : ) Have a good day, hope you can get a bit of a rest. Take care xx

    Hi Christine
    Gorgeous flower you have made, great that you have done some up-cycling too! I visited Craft Plus yesterday for a demo, I'm looking forward to seeing you there in November.
    Enjoy your day.

    That's so pretty, Christine and I'm pretty sure that they will fit my die cutting machine. I've got the Cut n boss as I
    needed an automatic one and it has a nice, wide opening so guess what's now on my Spellbindres wish list lol.
