Recycled Magazine Flower Idea-Going Green Blog Tour

If you're like me you have lots of magazines lying around the house! 
Well, recently, I started cutting out the ideas I wanted to save and filing them for future use, and I came up with an idea.... there's lots of pretty print in these magazines that match our cardstock and ink, so.... here is an idea using one of the pages.

I used the editorial page (of course, who reads this, right?)  It matches our Bermuda Bay ink/cardstock wonderfully!
I used my 1-3/4" punch, and my circle scissors to cut out a 2", 2-1/2" and 3" circle as seen below.
I then used my paper snips to cut little slits all the way around the circles, not going all the way to the center.
Using Bermuda Bay ink, I used a dauber to apply ink to every other circle.

Then I layered them together and apply a Jumbo Grommet to the center and then added one of our Pretty In Pink Epoxy Brads in the center of that.  Fluff up the outer edge of the paper flower and viola... a fun, shiney 2-tone dimensional flower.

And the finished project......
Of course I had to use the big shot with the Polka Dot Texture Folder for the background.

The greeting is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and is punched with the Word Window Punch and layered on the Modern Label Punch.
