Sweet Sunday Sketch #54

Last night I had another go at one of the flower tutorials from this blog, this time a lollipop flower.

I had made these before but I loved the tip of scrunching the circle round the blunt end of a pen, I found this made the flower 'pop' more. I was still too chicken to roughly cut the circles though, so I used my cricut, but i did rough them up a lot by distressing them with my scissors.

I added some pink stickles round the edge, then popped the circles on top of the radiator to dry quicker as I was way too impatient to wait for it to dry lol.

I then added my completed flower to this card for this weeks Sweet Sunday Sketch #54. For my scalloped piece I used a Crafters Workshop template. My favourite one in the pack is the smallest one as it gives the most rounded scallops. **A tip for you - if you want a longer scalloped piece simply draw the template in the centre of your strip of paper, then line it up at either side to get the desired length before cutting out.**

Thank you for looking. I have switched browsers again - this time to Opera as IE, Firefox and now Chrome seem to annoy me when I am blogging, and surfing other peoples blogs. So, this one seems to be running well, I can see pics, I can comment, and the pages actually load. Oh and more regular readers will notice my facelift too - can you tell I was bored yesterday afternoon lol.
