Tips/Techniques
*   Apply Glossy Accents (or Dimensional Magic) to the edges of flower petals and in droplets here and there on your flowers to enhance the flowers and give the impression of dew drops.

*   When buying die-cut patterned paper or cardstock, buy two.  That way you can use one and keep the other for a template.  That is how I created the scalloped circle on this LO.

*   Don’t forget your old stash.  The Making Memories fabric covered buttons I used for my flower centres I have had for years and I doubted I would ever use them.  In the end they were the perfect touch for this LO.

*   Sometimes I apply my rub-ons to acetate and to create a new embellishment.  Such a technique would have been perfect for the dragon flies on this LO however it already had so much dimension, texture and visual interest that I decided to apply the rub-ons direct to the LO itself.

*   Ribbon can be effectively used by looping it and attaching it beneath flowers to create ‘leaves’.
