OK, this has got to be it for a while. I have so much new stuff that I need to play with but I just couldn’t help creating this project using the Love & Happiness Rub-Ons that are in the SAB mini catalog.
I got this idea while shopping on Monday. I spotted this coffee mug that looks like a flower pot and thought it would look great with the Chocolate Chip Rub-Ons and some flowers on bamboo skewers. I used a couple of background stamps for my punchouts so there IS some stamping on this project!! I used Paisley and Canvas. I also used the 5-Petal Flower Punch, the Scallop Circle Punch and CHECK OUT THE MIDDLES OF THESE FLOWERS…what is that…..could it be…….IT IS!!!! A baby scallop!!!! This little baby scallop is one of the trio of flowers that you get with the NEW Boho Blossoms punch.
I must admit that I am still in the learning stages of applying rub-ons. As I was applying the butterfly, I got a little carried away and I pushed my stick off the edge of the paper and when I brought it back it pulled a bit and really messed up the top of the butterfly’s wing. Well, considering the fact that I "pay particular attention to detail" (read as, anal) that was not going to fly with me. I knew I had to fix it. I found a cute little flower on the sheet of rub-ons and so I carefully scraped off my mistake and very gently rubbed the little flower on. You can’t even tell that I messed up can you??!!!!
Here is a close up of the little flower
So for those of you who think I never mess up, here is the proof!!!
You are killing me! I LOVE this idea with the punched flowers. My grandmother has made some “flowers” for me from seashells, and I thought that I could never be that creative. Barb, you always show me that I can do anything with stamps and punches. Thanks for the great idea – and for once again adding to my ever-increasing wish list.
You have so many wonderful projects! I love this flowerpot decorated with the rubons, though, and the flowers inside it!! Thanks for sharing 🙂
