So, I've been planning my new classes for this coming fall & I had to try flocking. I bought some at Michael's in the $1.50 bins (along with some very sparkly stickers) and because they came in a package of 4, I bought a whole range of colours. (see below)
Yesterday, I had a very creative friend of mine over & we played. :) Here is my favourite layout of the summer... (yet another fabulous sketch from Miss Higgins!)
{title in portuguese: great-grandparents}
As you can see I tried flocking on the edges of the flower centres, and the little stamped image of the family tree. For both embellishments I used a glue pad for the adhesive.
The edges of the cirlces were slid through the the pad and then throught the flocking. It created a soft edge to the centres that I love.
I then tried to add the same softness to the little tree I had stamped earlier on the page. I used a toothpick and the stamp pad.
As soon as I had finished outlining the image with the adhesive I poured the flock directly on the image & softly spread the flocking around. The flocking stuck to the image & came off the rest of the page easily.
I really love this stuff. I will be using it a lot for the rest of the summer!
Has anyone else used it? How did it go for you?
Happy scrappin',
Cindy
