Earthy Toned Chevrons & Flowers

SK174 US205
When I saw the sketch at Unscripted Sketches I knew it was time to use the chevron patterned paper from Fancy Pants Designs. I love the soft, earthy tones in the chevrons. I began by trimming the top and bottom edges on a strip of chevrons so that the edges would be pointed and the pattern would be more prominent. Then I paired the strip with flowers that are shades of brown. I punched two of each flower, layered them together and added a gray center. Next, I hand-cut stems and leaves and adhered them in a clump to resemble a bouquet and finished with a bow. I used dimensional adhesive behind three of the flowers.

Supplies:
Cardbase: Kraft ?, Patterned Paper: Fancy Pants Designs: Chevron, Other: ? from my stash of scrap pieces, Punches: McGill, Adhesive: Scrapbook Adhesives 3D Foam Squares, Scotch ATG
