For my creative project I chose a few of my favorites, these are my favorites because of the colors. For my Graphic 45 paper collection I chose Le Cirque, I love to distress my paper and sand the edges, the add ink. Using Want2Scrap's new Nestaboard that matches the Nestabling made this project so easy, I die cut Spellbinders S4-319 Lattice Rectangles using my pattern paper, adhered it with Beacon Adhesives Zip Dry to the Nestaboard Lattice Rectangles by Want2Scrap, then comes the bling pop.........Nestabling Lattice Rectangles Black and Silver Rhinestones ...check out all that amazing BLING!!!!!
I just love how the can-can flows on the picture so I thought I would capture that look using the Le Cirque pattern paper, added some tulle for texture and the wonderful Metal Flower Staples from Graphic 45, I twisted and turned to shape the metal flowers and then I added a 72 Count Black Rhinestone Bling from Want2Scrap. I cut 3 little postage stamp pictures and attached them to decorative straight pins, added the black centers of the Nestabling Lattice Rectangles Black and Silver Rhinestones to each of the postage stamps, they fit perfectly. Added the S4-328 Foliage die cut from green color core card stock from Core' dinations, sanded and adhered behind the hand made can-can.
Here is a close-up of how amazing the two companies products go together, it sure made this project So....Easy!
