Flower Soft Day 2

Whew. This has been a busy retreat. I am posting the Wishing Well card that I had in the video opener. I changed the background to lavender and stamped some flowers on the side and added some hand drawn elements that I covered with the lovely Flower Soft. If you have not seen the video you can watch it here. If not click FlowerSoftRetreat to view it at YouTube.

You could also create an entire field of flowers and have your Wishing Well as the focal point; place a few clouds and birds in the sky: idyllic. I kept mine pretty basic on the side panels by stamping with Versamark and then using a clear embossig powder. The stems were hand drawn. Here are a few more closeups of those panels.

Now, on to what you all have been waiting for...a sneak peek of the finished beige door card. Before I show that to you I would like to give the code again for the freebie with purchase. When you visit www.cutterscreek.com please enter "5 Free Bags" to receive your empty bags that can be filled with your new purchases and help to keep you contained and organized. Don't forget your toppers and your glue while you are there. These items will get you started and the projects are EASY. Ok. Now. Ready? TADA.......

Isn't this spectacular? When we have completed our project, this will be the end result. Again, you can glue and sprinkle, but look what happens when you dress it up a bit. STUNNING. Here are a few more views of the completed topper with the Flower Soft.

The dimension this product adds without a lot of bulk is incredible. Don't you want to take that snow and have a snow ball fight? Or, make some ice cream?

There is a Scarecrow that I need to work on to get ready for fall. That autumn Flower Soft is sounding yummy and calling my name. I had better get busy.

Gotta find some fall ink colors, in the Name of Love of course.

Until then.

Flower Soft

Hello everyone. I hope that you are taking advantage of these wanning days of summer. If you have not gotten out your camera, please do so. You will be able to document the swift changes that will take place in the next few months. How about taking a photo of yourself/your family in front of the same tree for the next four seasons. If you print them out in B/W you can color them in using chalks and a wonderful new product called Flower Soft.


If you haven't checked out my newest video on YouTube see the section to the left or go to FlowerSoftRetreatDay1 to get more background information.



Here is a Christmas card topper that I decorated using the Vintage Christmas and the super sparkly Polar White from the Diamond Glaze collection.

Attempting photographs with this product is a bit tricky but I have also tried different angles. Here it looks as if the ivy vines are floating on the page. Pretty neat. I really like the 3-D look you get when using flower soft.


The range of colors available is incredible. There is something to meet every need.
When you go to place your Flower Soft order for this incredible product at: http://www.cutterscreek.com/
and use "5 FREE BAGS" in your coupon code box; you will have the empty bags ready to fill with your Flower-Soft and be well on your way to getting and remaining organized. Use a slick writer to make sure the name is permanent on your bags. Then your 20 and 30ml containers could be used to house those hard to control brads and eyelets.


To the right is where I enhanced the bells with more Vintage Christmas and some Polar White along with a bit of white glitter. Of course I could not resist pulling out my Sakura metallic pens and also my Fiskars red glitter pen. It is those small touches that really makes your work stand out.

I am having a load of fun playing with this product. It is nothing like embossing powder. It easily pours from and back into your bag with no waste. I would suggest that you allow the product to set in between color usage and start with the Polar White first. You really want to keep this pure white. I also created a little bag of 'leftovers'. When cleaning my area any flakes that I missed go into that bag and I can use them on a wildflower topper. See, waste not whatsover.



Please keep inking in the name of love.
Until then.
