Special Ops: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Paper Flowers</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This paper flower bouquet is the latest in bright colors and needs no water.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Check out the tutorial below!<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XZM7UHGCk5w/VSNTPG5X_lI/AAAAAAAAIb0/HbLcw7EVel0/s1600/flowerup%2B(1000x779).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XZM7UHGCk5w/VSNTPG5X_lI/AAAAAAAAIb0/HbLcw7EVel0/s1600/flowerup%2B(1000x779).jpg" height="311" width="400" /></a> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To make these flowers you will need a border punch, washi tape, 3.5 X 10 inch strip of paper, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4 X 6 inch strip of patterned paper, 1.25 inch paper circle, a large gem, and a bamboo kabob stick.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 1.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stretch washi tape on 3.5x10 inch cardstock.</div>
Punch the length of the paper with the border punch.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cut 3inch lines between the decorative edges of the punched paper, these will be the petals.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ifk8vavuaPk/VSNNGIMv-rI/AAAAAAAAIbE/vEZTbbdH1qc/s1600/washif.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ifk8vavuaPk/VSNNGIMv-rI/AAAAAAAAIbE/vEZTbbdH1qc/s1600/washif.jpg" height="298" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 2 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Roll the punched, cut, cardstock into a spiral. Begin with just three petals for the flower center. As you roll the paper be sure to off set the petals so that the flower looks full. The bottom of you flower will look something like this:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-F4OI-gI_5WA/VSNNIGwDBoI/AAAAAAAAIbM/5kiGt2EEPP8/s1600/flowerb%2B(997x1000).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-F4OI-gI_5WA/VSNNIGwDBoI/AAAAAAAAIbM/5kiGt2EEPP8/s1600/flowerb%2B(997x1000).jpg" height="320" width="319" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 3 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cut a 1.5inch circle of cardstock. Pierce a hole in the center, snip a single line from the edge of the circle to the center. Glue the cut edge of the circle back together so that it shapes a cone. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jFXugdP7QPA/VSNNLR2w6WI/AAAAAAAAIbU/Hrpab-lcOCg/s1600/flowerce%2B(1000x1000).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jFXugdP7QPA/VSNNLR2w6WI/AAAAAAAAIbU/Hrpab-lcOCg/s1600/flowerce%2B(1000x1000).jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 4</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thread the bamboo stick through the center of the cone, add a glob of hot glue, place gem on top. Be very careful with the flower stem until the glue is completely dry. Place adhesive around the under edge of the cone, thread the stem through the center of the flower. Leave to dry till flower and center/stem are stuck fast.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_xauSmjmMSg/VSNNMyRAtfI/AAAAAAAAIbc/0l_zEcctuHs/s1600/flower%2Bcenter%2B(1000x768).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_xauSmjmMSg/VSNNMyRAtfI/AAAAAAAAIbc/0l_zEcctuHs/s1600/flower%2Bcenter%2B(1000x768).jpg" height="245" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 5</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To cover the awkward look of the flower base fold the 4x6inch strip of paper into a cone. Adhere to base of flower, trim excess.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Tnnb6rN8DpE/VSNNOgF3n3I/AAAAAAAAIbk/dXK1kwh65w4/s1600/flowerbo%2B(887x1100).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Tnnb6rN8DpE/VSNNOgF3n3I/AAAAAAAAIbk/dXK1kwh65w4/s1600/flowerbo%2B(887x1100).jpg" height="320" width="258" /></a></div>

<br />
Michele here with a super easy background technique.<br />
Here is what you will need:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0W7VWdQea4w/VVU2y9NEMWI/AAAAAAAAImM/Zx0eIcXx8sI/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="306" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0W7VWdQea4w/VVU2y9NEMWI/AAAAAAAAImM/Zx0eIcXx8sI/s320/1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
I used watercolor paper.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fjwihOEeCo8/VVU229M59XI/AAAAAAAAImY/zHzIcNsQXzw/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fjwihOEeCo8/VVU229M59XI/AAAAAAAAImY/zHzIcNsQXzw/s320/2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Stamp your image with embossing ink and sprinkle with clear embossing powder. I used Viva Las VegaStamps! high gloss embossing powder. Now heat it up.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YPucPvfF9g0/VVU22mhu_4I/AAAAAAAAImU/6vN4uRaGkUY/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YPucPvfF9g0/VVU22mhu_4I/AAAAAAAAImU/6vN4uRaGkUY/s320/3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Spray your paper with as many colors as you would like. I used four Colorations from <a href="http://artanthologyinc.com/blog/" target="_blank">Art Anthology.</a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-R1qeoZe-zeI/VVU2-AxM7eI/AAAAAAAAImk/AY6i8jghH-E/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-R1qeoZe-zeI/VVU2-AxM7eI/AAAAAAAAImk/AY6i8jghH-E/s320/4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Wipe the color off where is has beaded on the stamped image. This one is a VLVS! stamp from a new release, <a href="http://www.vlvstamps.com/index.php/latest-releases/latest-releases-april-2015/wildflowers-silhouette-2-1-4-x-6.html" target="_blank">Wildflower Silhouette</a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Twb7G6a8UsQ/VVU2-qat0PI/AAAAAAAAImo/_dIhTLOCtbQ/s1600/5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="274" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Twb7G6a8UsQ/VVU2-qat0PI/AAAAAAAAImo/_dIhTLOCtbQ/s320/5.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Move the pooling color around and dry with a heat gun.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8G7XGOgl9QE/VVU2-6XtLEI/AAAAAAAAImw/M5NSMzJv03o/s1600/6a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8G7XGOgl9QE/VVU2-6XtLEI/AAAAAAAAImw/M5NSMzJv03o/s320/6a.jpg" width="221" /></a></div>
The Coloration colors used were Waimea Bay, Timeless, Salted Carmel and Guacamole.<br />
<br />
You will be able to see the finished card I made with this background over at Viva Las VegaStamps! on May 21. Visit <a href="http://vivalas.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://vivalas.blogspot.com/</a> to check it out.<br />

<br />
Splatt your inks randomly arond the page. For the paints you will have to add more water to get a good spread.<br />

Today's Special Ops is all about books and how to keep them supported in style.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VWoQzfez3_0/VRLG3BmeclI/AAAAAAAAIS0/sto5mRzefsI/s1600/bookendss%2B(970x1000).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VWoQzfez3_0/VRLG3BmeclI/AAAAAAAAIS0/sto5mRzefsI/s1600/bookendss%2B(970x1000).jpg" height="400" width="387" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the look of old maps and Pirate Ships.<br />
This pair of bookends needed an update and Craft Smith paper and Funfare Stencil were right there to help me out. Stop by my blog <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"><a href="http://menemenetekeluniversity.blogspot.com/2015/03/pirate-ship-bookends.html">Scrappin' Chaos</a></span></span> for more details on the paper and stencil.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 1:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Trace book end then trim a slight edge from that shape. <br />
The paper adheres better if it isn't flush with the edge.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dITS1Iz3ezU/VRLG01JsjGI/AAAAAAAAISQ/gApuXXU-_bg/s1600/be1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dITS1Iz3ezU/VRLG01JsjGI/AAAAAAAAISQ/gApuXXU-_bg/s1600/be1.jpg" height="320" width="303" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 2.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Use washi tape to mask the stencil. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-j8jau5s1u7Y/VRLG0sTZmjI/AAAAAAAAISM/VYv1ehBnU4A/s1600/be2%2B(1000x1000).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-j8jau5s1u7Y/VRLG0sTZmjI/AAAAAAAAISM/VYv1ehBnU4A/s1600/be2%2B(1000x1000).jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 3.<br />
Ink the exposed portion of the stencil.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dust with embossing powder, heat to set.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-17jU3QXma7E/VRLG1qR8jfI/AAAAAAAAISY/GbwiHy2UocA/s1600/be3%2B(1000x1000).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-17jU3QXma7E/VRLG1qR8jfI/AAAAAAAAISY/GbwiHy2UocA/s1600/be3%2B(1000x1000).jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 4.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Repeat masking and setting process with each color of ink.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AUpiXFXLnKY/VRLG2C6K0QI/AAAAAAAAISk/rbbB9MnGBmE/s1600/be4%2B(900x900).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AUpiXFXLnKY/VRLG2C6K0QI/AAAAAAAAISk/rbbB9MnGBmE/s1600/be4%2B(900x900).jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 5.<br />
Sand wood surface of bookend.<br />
Adhere paper using Yes Paste or similar adhesive.<br />
When project is dry add washi tape to frame edges. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7p8j-GNzy5M/VRLG22PLPYI/AAAAAAAAISw/XPryZbl2rBE/s1600/bookends%2B(794x900).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7p8j-GNzy5M/VRLG22PLPYI/AAAAAAAAISw/XPryZbl2rBE/s1600/bookends%2B(794x900).jpg" height="400" width="352" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Books and classy bookends are a most versatile design element.<br />

<br />
A couple of weeks ago Lanette and I took a workshop with Dyan Reavley at Scrappy Chic, our local scrapbook store.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/11044997_10206044473456376_4766260518772706156_n.jpg?oh=f7e703136107e4290a6d25199e43a30b&oe=55886C9E&__gda__=1434878945_3be90b888eef98d63f053382ab8c5735" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/11044997_10206044473456376_4766260518772706156_n.jpg?oh=f7e703136107e4290a6d25199e43a30b&oe=55886C9E&__gda__=1434878945_3be90b888eef98d63f053382ab8c5735" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
I learned so much and wanted to share a bit with you.<br />
<br />
I inked a couple of tags with some 'cool' colors from Dyan's Dylusions Ink Sprays; Fresh Lime, Vibrant Turquoise and London Blue.<br />
You will need 2 tags, these are no.10, stencil and spray bottle with water.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tZQpV_PoekE/VPukDRbcSOI/AAAAAAAAIXo/8S-YnPDlPZ8/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tZQpV_PoekE/VPukDRbcSOI/AAAAAAAAIXo/8S-YnPDlPZ8/s1600/1.jpg" height="315" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Dyan always uses three colors.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MRBl7aRvnrg/VPukDbGljvI/AAAAAAAAIXk/u51gPG3l6PI/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MRBl7aRvnrg/VPukDbGljvI/AAAAAAAAIXk/u51gPG3l6PI/s1600/2.jpg" height="320" width="307" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Spray each color in 2 places on one of the tags, make sure you get good coverage.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AnUj5K-J7gg/VPukD7jnrdI/AAAAAAAAIXs/ZnT9zoNNX3s/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AnUj5K-J7gg/VPukD7jnrdI/AAAAAAAAIXs/ZnT9zoNNX3s/s1600/3.jpg" height="320" width="298" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Put the other tag on top and press down evenly. You can use a roll of paper towels to roll across the tags.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aNl5WtU2FXM/VPukJI2mSFI/AAAAAAAAIX8/Mmz5DDFtwdM/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aNl5WtU2FXM/VPukJI2mSFI/AAAAAAAAIX8/Mmz5DDFtwdM/s1600/4.jpg" height="228" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Pull the tags apart and mop up excess ink.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wvKbAXt9Y_Q/VPukPqJ4I2I/AAAAAAAAIYI/Mp6wKRIDuv8/s1600/5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wvKbAXt9Y_Q/VPukPqJ4I2I/AAAAAAAAIYI/Mp6wKRIDuv8/s1600/5.jpg" height="250" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Let the ink dry to the touch.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LGLUMC9zRE0/VPukPGkkasI/AAAAAAAAIYE/RiPeQGjoEdQ/s1600/6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LGLUMC9zRE0/VPukPGkkasI/AAAAAAAAIYE/RiPeQGjoEdQ/s1600/6.jpg" height="320" width="306" /></a></div>
<br />
Lay the two tags side by side, place your stencil over one of the tags and mist water over entire tag.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZAr4M5b_FcY/VPukSsEGnHI/AAAAAAAAIYU/vFUiVRcbLzo/s1600/7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZAr4M5b_FcY/VPukSsEGnHI/AAAAAAAAIYU/vFUiVRcbLzo/s1600/7.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Lift the stencicl and flip over to the next tag, press down by rolling the paper towel roll over the top.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1V-_16b5pzg/VPukYpVsdzI/AAAAAAAAIYk/u2fHE4H0B58/s1600/8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1V-_16b5pzg/VPukYpVsdzI/AAAAAAAAIYk/u2fHE4H0B58/s1600/8.jpg" height="229" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Then roll the paper towel roll over both tags.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XCkOZKruaRc/VPukbZxN1WI/AAAAAAAAIYw/GZp5sg7pCMc/s1600/Ghosted%2BTags.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XCkOZKruaRc/VPukbZxN1WI/AAAAAAAAIYw/GZp5sg7pCMc/s1600/Ghosted%2BTags.jpg" height="400" width="361" /></a></div>
<br />
Viola!!! This is one of the awesome techniques Dyan taught and you can find more in her new book, Distinctly Dylusional. I highly recommend it if you link playing with ink!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mH1ABbHf8Cw/VPukbTmlMeI/AAAAAAAAIYs/cgXPhBqbQ1I/s1600/Ghosted%2BTags%2Bclose.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mH1ABbHf8Cw/VPukbTmlMeI/AAAAAAAAIYs/cgXPhBqbQ1I/s1600/Ghosted%2BTags%2Bclose.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />

<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Step 1:</div>
<div align="center">
Trace the outline of the block or house onto paper.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-myZPoZFZtWE/VOFw0gmGALI/AAAAAAAAIAQ/iQbWKnyk7qQ/s1600/2015-02-15%2B22.19.18.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-myZPoZFZtWE/VOFw0gmGALI/AAAAAAAAIAQ/iQbWKnyk7qQ/s1600/2015-02-15%2B22.19.18.jpg" height="398" width="400" /></a></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Step 2:</div>
<div align="center">
Cut out the shape and trim to fit.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NJNphD7UwEs/VOFwyl-QdxI/AAAAAAAAIAI/Sw1Aj4WOEa4/s1600/2015-02-15%2B22.19.52.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NJNphD7UwEs/VOFwyl-QdxI/AAAAAAAAIAI/Sw1Aj4WOEa4/s1600/2015-02-15%2B22.19.52.jpg" height="400" width="398" /></a></div>
<br />
<div align="center">
Step 3:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stamp and heat emboss a design on to the paper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xyQ2beqF_e4/VOFwwsqGXEI/AAAAAAAAIAA/fxZAnq0iMrg/s1600/2015-02-15%2B22.20.34.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xyQ2beqF_e4/VOFwwsqGXEI/AAAAAAAAIAA/fxZAnq0iMrg/s1600/2015-02-15%2B22.20.34.jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 4:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Paint or color the image then adhere the paper to the block.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used my mists and a small paint brush.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The embossed lines kept the colors from merging.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 5:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wrap the edges with washi tape.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Paint the top and sides of the block with Mod Podge.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used three layers of Mod Podge on my blocks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Last week for Drill #49 the team shared some Valentines. Today I would like to show you how I created the background on my card.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PF0s8Ufwouk/VM1iwwXz5HI/AAAAAAAAIOI/i0UfiMTywcc/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PF0s8Ufwouk/VM1iwwXz5HI/AAAAAAAAIOI/i0UfiMTywcc/s1600/1.jpg" height="275" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
I started by choosing 3 Distress Ink colors and grabbed some painters tape.<br />
I used watercolor paper for this technique cut to size before I started inking.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eDxuqDt6oRI/VM1ixhC3BvI/AAAAAAAAIOU/N1bOtKeIAGI/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eDxuqDt6oRI/VM1ixhC3BvI/AAAAAAAAIOU/N1bOtKeIAGI/s1600/2.jpg" height="265" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
I put my paper on a paper towel in case I over inked. Tear a piece of tape a bit longer than you paper and drag across you stamp pad. I went back and pushed it down with my fingers also.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8w3M_Xbqr1Q/VM1iwljpI3I/AAAAAAAAIOE/ZrTIc0ILItE/s1600/3%2Bcollage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8w3M_Xbqr1Q/VM1iwljpI3I/AAAAAAAAIOE/ZrTIc0ILItE/s1600/3%2Bcollage.jpg" height="131" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Tape across your paper and push down to spread the ink. Repeat as many times as you would like. I chose 3 colors so I have three stripes.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DP-utfMxCtM/VM1izkAIqhI/AAAAAAAAIOc/iMCyFVMjMW8/s1600/4%2Bcollage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DP-utfMxCtM/VM1izkAIqhI/AAAAAAAAIOc/iMCyFVMjMW8/s1600/4%2Bcollage.jpg" height="200" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Gently peel back the tape...viola!<br />
Once it dried I stamped my Valentine image of LOVE from <a href="http://www.vlvstamps.com/" target="_blank">Viva Las VegaStamps</a> with archival ink. I didn't apply even pressure on the stamp because I wanted a vintage look.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>Supplies:</strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
10 oz Powdered Coffee Mate </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
18 x 7.5" burlap</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1.25" spool</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
floral wire</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
white paint</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>Directions:</strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 1:Remove label and lid from container</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 2:Open pour tab on lid, this will give the spool a secure base. Paint the lid with white paint. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 3:Fold burlap in half. Draw a diagonal line that is 3 inches in from the corner on both sides. Stitch the length of the diagonal line from the fold to the raw edge, sewing both halves of the burlap together. Do this for both corners.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 4:Stitch a line one inch from the raw edge that begins with the corner seam and ends at the bottom of the burlap. Do this for both sides.</div>
Step 5:To give the waist a little more definition, carefully cut a notch from the side of the burlap, 5inches from the bottom. Do NOT cut the stitching.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pK5-r06hNNk/VF6G5g8HzEI/AAAAAAAAHkE/ug-lACQMcnA/s1600/dressf3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pK5-r06hNNk/VF6G5g8HzEI/AAAAAAAAHkE/ug-lACQMcnA/s1600/dressf3.jpg" height="400" width="336" /></a></div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 6:Pierce 4 holes in the lid corresponding with spool ends, wire the spool to the center of the lid using floral wire.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 7:Screw lid onto container. Turn burlap inside out. Place the burlap over the container. Tie a piece of string about the waist. For a more finished look turn the raw edge of the burlap under. Secure with glue or leave as is.</div>
