Punched Flowers from Paper Layers with Laurie Schmidlin

Good morning!  It's my turn to share what I came up with for this month's Glitz Blog Challenge - Using Book Paper!  I love the Glitz Paper Layers (which are really similar to Book Paper)!  Not only are they lightweight, but coordinate with all the different Glitz collections!

For my first card, I not only used a stamped Paper Layer for the background (the tilted tan piece), but I also used one for a decorative mat for my focal image.  I started by embossing a floral image onto the book paper using clear embossing powder.  I then sponged on some Broken China Distress Ink over the whole thing.  Finally, I used a decorative die to create the label shape.  I adorned the card with a Giant Rhinestone, and Epoxy Word, ribbon, flower, and rhinestones/Dew Drops!

For my second card, I used punched out flowers from my Paper Layer and then mounted a flower on top of them.  I embellished my card using a Whatnot, Epoxy Words, Ribbon, and buttons.

Thanks so much for joining me here today!  ~Laurie
