Technique Time Tuesday-Dahlia Fold Flowers

Hey Everyone!

It's been quite a Monday!  Took the car in for service for an engine light that turned on and a strange and disturbing engine chugging that is sometimes accompanied with stalling upon start up.  Not good.  Luckily I don't have to sell any organs to pay for it...barely.  Booo!  Anyways, it made for interesting logistics for the kids evening events tonight having only one car.  It all worked out fine in the end.  Yay!  Now I sit here with "The Voice" on TV in the background and I notice that Adam Levine looks very very different with a clean shave.  Not sure yet if I like it better or not.

On the creative front, the folks over at Technique Time Tuesday have a cool technique this month called "dahlia fold flowers".  The funny thing about this flower is that I didn't actually see it as a flower...especially after I actually made it.  Here's what I saw...

The background camera stamp is from Webster's Pages.  The sentiment is from Technique Tuesday and the patterned paper is from Recollections.  The back of the Dahlia flower was stamped with a Hero Arts Text stamp.  The view finder is diecut from a Quickutz label die.  I added some glitter using Stickles on the "smile".

The Dahlia fold totally looked like a shutter to me and I couldn't help but use it in this way.  I used a Spellbinders circle die to cut the scalloped edge into a perfect circle.

I made the rest of the camera using the background stamp cameras as a template for the shape.

I'd also like to submit this in the following blogs:
