just have a looksie at this.

Sandra has extended herself and she has excelled well beyond measure. U have such confidence in your work now Sandra, its truly wonderful to see.

just wowsers at your lolly pop bloom. I am loving all the textures in it and in the torn layers to reveal the doullie.(spell check pls) Great pins too. Suits the shabby theme perfectly. the buttons, the oh so adorable pic ( I am a sucker for little tootsies).

This was a challenge entry that Sandra entered at Puzzle Sketches.
Good luck chick.
I think we all should pop over there when this one is loaded up and give it a vote.

I didn't realise that flower was handmade Sandra! Oh MY!! You'll have to show me that trick at E2C! Mine have distressed edges, but yours are kind of rolled? It looks just like the prima ones! FAB!

Hi Nicole!
to make the flower I followed a link on Jane Ettia Jones blog (love her work)
Its REALLY easy..
*cut your circles
*distress the edges (I used an edge distresser from Heidi Swapp)
*swipe paint on the edges
*join together with a brad or button
*then (here is the trick) spray with water or glimmer mist.
spray just enough to get it slightly wet then roll and play with the edges then let it dry.
SO easy... I tell you if I can do it ANY one can.
can't wait to see you at the retreat Nic.. great to see you here.. would love to see one of your layouts here as a challenge entry.. you do such beautiful work
