Make ~N~ Take #3

**NOTE** The stamp sets used for this project are:
Tim Holtz Paisley Prints and Wendy Vecchi Art Rules

This is another piece of chipboard cut with the Accu Cut machine and then embellished.

First paint the top of a large brad with Studio Charcoal Black paint and let it dry. Paint 3 coats of Studio Altered Orange paint on to the flower and let it dry after each coat. When completely dry, scratch surface in a cross hatch with the Tonic Craft Scratcher.

Use Broken China distress ink over scratched surface and dry with heat gun. Repeat this 3 times. Let it cool well because the paint can still be sticky after all that heat!!

On a piece of white cardstock, stamp the sentiment from the Tim Holtz stamp set and cut out the words as on the example. Use Broken China to rub color over the word and a little extra on the edges.

Stamp the grid stamp from Wendy Vecchi's set with memento ink over the whole flower. Sprinkle clear embossing powder over it and heat set.

Use Studio Matte Medium with a brush to decopage the words onto the petals and cover whole flower. When this is completely dry, place the dried black brad in the center and take the tip of a small paint brush dipped into white paint to make the dots in the center of the flower. Heat set this and be sure to let this whole thing dry completely. Also edge the petals with Tiara Glitz Stickles.

...2 days to go and counting...
