Here’s what Jeni had to say:

“I love mixing it up with different techniques using mixed media to alter the flowers and background to create a splash of colour. I had the idea that I wanted to show a mix of techniques with a variety flowers. So I’ve embossed, stamped, inked, glittered, used perfect pearls, Liquid pearls, gesso and made 3d ones.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Step 1. Begin with a selection of Manor House Flowers flowers to alter.

Step 2. Using a variety of techniques such as embossing, inking. Decorate flowers.

Step 3. Background was created misting a mask, paint splatters and gesso.

Step 4. Start by building up the background layers.

Step 5 & 5a.  I used a mix of flowers, sizes and colours.

Step 6. Altered flowers give the illusion of added texture and depth.

Step 7. Create 3d flowers by using smaller petals for centres.

Step 8. Add extra embellishment touches to create a finished layout.

Step x step with Rae

Posted on February 20, 2012 by Manor House Creations

HI everyone! One of DT Educators, RAE COOPER, is going to share some of her creativity with you today by showing you how to make these adorable little cupcakes – you could go crazy with our Blossoms, making all manner of colour combinations. Let’s see what she used and how she did it.

Ingredients: Flowers, foam ball, lace, chippy circle, paper, pins & glue.

Step 1: Glue paper onto one side of chippy trim and sand.

Step 2:  Make a consertina with a  strip of paper and join the ends together – or you can use Tim Holtz alterations die – Paper Rosette.

Step 3:  Glue patty pan to chippy circle and add lace to the bottom of patty pan.

 Step 4: Glue foam ball into patty pan.

 Step 5: Starting at the top of patty pan, take a flower and a pin and puch it into the foam ball, working your way around from bottom to top, and it should look like the cupcake below.

Step 6: Add a decorative pin for that extra touch.

 Aren’t they so clever – we love them Rae!
