The Clean and Simple Challenge at Splitcoast Stampers asks to Think Spring! Here are my thoughts. I’ve used SSS101488 Artful Flowers and WPlus9 'Fresh Cut Florals' leaves with a Verve 'Beautiful You set W-08-030' sentiment. I colored the flowers with Distress Stains in picked raspberry and scattered straw. I used a water brush to apply the colors to the heat embossed in white and die cut flowers. I added yellow stickles in the centers and sparkly tiny stickers. |

CC624-A Delightful Garden of
Blackberries is the color challenge at Splitcoast Stampers this week.
I’ve used stamps
and dies from Altenew’s "Beautiful Day" set. I stamped the leaves and such in DI
mowed lawn and colored in with copics in the blackberry look-a-like colors. The
Flower is stamped in DI mustard seed and SU Mango. The weather is so unseasonably warm and my daffodils are ready to pop!

Suplies needed: Paper/card stock in two different colors, wire, wire cutter, pliers, paper trimmer or scissors, 1/8" hole punch, tape, four or more beads (2 big, 2 small) circle punches for two 1" circles and two 1/2" circles |
 |
| I started by die cutting two each of the bow part from the Bigz die. |
 |
| With a paper trimmer or scissors- cut the supporting color (white) down to an inch and a half and mark to punch holes (about 1/8" from ends) for wire and beads. |
 |
| Cut a 6 inch length of 26 or so gauge bead wire and use the pilers to make a lope at end to secure the bead. Also, make a 2" long tube/straw out of paper to support the strips. |
 |
| Also die cut or punch two 1/2" circles and two 1" circles and punch 1/8" hole in center |
 |
| Add the smallest bead to wire, the larger bead and one of the 1/2" circles. |
 |
| Aline strips in this pattern and add them onto your wire in the order seen here. |
 |
| After the strips are loaded onto the wire add a larger circle (1") and the tube/straw and the second 1" circle at top end of the tube. |
 |
| Start adding the thinner white strips first onto the wire. Add the ends that are across from each other. |
 |
| (YOU MAY ADD GLUE IF YOU LIKE TO SECURE THE STRIPS) Add the red strips in the same X formation (the ends across from each other) then add the last 1/2" circle, the larger bead and the smaller. Make a loop in the wire to secure the bead and use remaining wire for the hook if you like. |
