Would You Ever Guess Wednesday?! With Flowers!

Good Morning Everyone!  Hope you are all enjoying this crazy time of year!  Even though we are all losing our sanity right now, crafting must continue!  This week at Erica's Cricut Craft Room, it's Would You Ever Guess Wednesday/Flowers Day! 

I've created 2 little projects to share. the first was my very first attempt at using Flower Shoppe. The base is an empty ribbon spool, covered in paper and ribbon. The flowers on top were cut in various sizes and just glued on! Cute huh?!

Next is a tree that I made using Flower Shoppe.  This took ALOT of time and ALOT of flowers!  I think it's best if you use double sided paper so you get color all around the flower.  These were all cut at around 5 inches, so a bit bigger, some smaller.  I painted the cone form in cream first, let that dry, then adhered the flowers using Aleene's Tacky Glue in the Gold bottle, GREAT STUFF!  Once the flowers were set and the glue had dried, I went back and used DecoArt Dimensional Writer Glistening Snow to fill in each center of the flower for some sparkle!  I really liked how these came out!  Once I play with this cartridge a bit more, I think I'll really enjoy using it!
