Flying Unicorns Oct Kit Features FabScraps
I love the Industrial Chic collection from FabScraps. They created a wonderful blend of elegance paired with edgy charm. Because there are so many beautiful papers in this collection, I opted to layer and show a few of them.
FabScraps also has beautiful matching chipboard like the one below. I simply embossed this with white enamel and added some pink ink to the top.
The flowers are Prima - of course BUT I have tucked in a few of the paper die cuts from FabScraps as well. FabScraps does a unique and innovative thing with each collection - they have stamped out matching die cuts that can be used to layer over their chipboard or to be used as stand alone pieces.
I used the flower fie cuts and inked the edges to tuck here and there under the clustering. Helping to make the clustering a bit fuller.
In this photo, you can see the dimension I have added to the strips. That's done by adding some cardboard to the backsides. I like card board when I can use it. The cardboard provides solid support to the entire dimensional piece versus using a strip of dimension foam tape. I will not get the sagging and dips that happen when I use foam tape and do not cover 100% of the surface area.
