Make ur own embossing template by using:
plastic not to thick
hole punch the smallest u got
take the plastic and make ruler markings how far apart you want the holes. length/width wise. punch holes
then there you got yourself a embossing template...

Lisa Yuen flowers [ got the info from the UT-vid-partI n partII]
20 sheets of paper
pot
3-4 qts of water
blender
big huge sponge
cookie sheet
rip paper, then boil it in a pot of water for about an hr., blend: 1 cup of mush w/ 2c of water until it becomes a smooth. you press it out on to the cookie sheet and press with the sponge, wringing out the water until the paper [paste] becomes 1mm thick. After a few hrs you roll it out more with a rolling pin to take out the imperfections. Then let air dry over night.
to paint you need this mixture for 1 flower [20 petals of small, med n large]:
2 c of water
1/3c acrylic glaze
1 tsp of paint [what ever color u wish]
iridescent
don't forget gloves...
dip the flower petals into the mixture... and place in a plastic wrapped cookie sheet. a couple hrs later form your petal [bend n curve it a little] to give it some shape.
glue gun
paper
scissors
bulb: made out of the paper
strip of long paper you fringe the ends then roll it back again and spread the thin slit. You glue it to the top of the bulb and add 5 small petals. keep building it, always using your glue gun, until you get your beautiful flower. you can use cable or wire depending how big the flowers are.

Another Shopping Day

Spend a few hrs @ W it was fun... Got the cutting dies and tried them on the pasta machine. It sort of works need to tweak it a bit... :) I saw the cuttlebug for $68... Was thinking of getting it if the pasta machine didn't do the trick but I want to use the dies for my polymer clay stuff... That reminds to be seen... :)

Martha stuff was all over the place got a bone folder for like 5$ which at the Scrapbooking stores is like 8-10... Too crazy!!!! Got also 2 cute brass templates for like 2$. Card stock [32pgs] for 5$... And my faves pearls which I want to use to deco my new cell: which one should I get: iphone or Sony w760i or Sony F305? Still thinking.......

Also got some Fiskars templates with its roller and shape templates with some crayola oil pastels [which I didn't know they had] @ B-en-G... Can't wait to use it on the tutorials I mentioned on still on the net post.

At the SS I got some vellum, acrylic stamps, ink pads and black shrink film [they were charging 12$ for the transparent one, freaken' crazy!]. I understand people want to make money but its like so GREEDY to do such things. Exploitation is one thing I HATE THE MOST!!! Just ruffles my feather when people try to take advantage. Let's not go on that rant, that's for my personal blog!
