Hand-Penned Petals Bundle

 

You will continue to see samples from the Hand-Penned

Petals Bundle (set on page 105, dies on page 159).

It is so attractive, enabling you to make those

WOW cards with relative ease.

In this example, I stamped the set, stamped the colors on

the petals and then cut out the flower cluster.  Next, I took the

outline die and cut out a gold foil detail overlay.   It was 

glued over the flowers and set aside while I used a Blender

Brush to add some color to the background.  The white

background layer was run through the Subtles 3d Embossing

Folder (retired).  I layered everything on to some gold foil

and a Pale Papaya card base.

 

I've been busy harvesting and processing my cherries.  My two

little cherry trees are COVERED and have been picked at 

least 6 times.   I pick 4-6 pounds of cherries each time.  

I have been heating the cherries with a bit of water, to help

them release their juice.  Then I simply mash them with a

potato ricer and pour the juice into a bell jar.  I am adamant about not adding any sugar or "polluting" my fruit with other ingredients.

My freezer is  getting pretty packed, but it will be delightful to have cherry juice for the coming months.
