Spring is Swirling ...

Hi everyone!! Jen here from Jen's Ink Spot.  I don't know about you but I am SO ready for Spring!  With that desire, when I sat down to create I wanted to use my twine from The Twinery in a fun, Springy sort of way.  Maybe you've seen The Twinery's twine used as candy or hearts and that is soooo cute! 

So as I was putting my card together, the idea of some fun twine swirled flowers came to me and I went with it!   Below is a closeup so you can see them a little better.

 

Does that not make a fun center for a flower?!

How I did it:  I punched out a 3/4" cardstock circle that matched the main color of the twine so that if there were gaps, it wouldn't be as noticeable.  I then used my ATG gun to apply adhesive (any strong adhesive would work) to the front of the punched circle.  Then, I just rolled the twine around the circle starting in the middle.  When I finished, I placed a glue dot on the back of the circle and adhered the end of the twine to it to keep it in place.  I popped the twine circle up on the card with 1/16" foam dimensionals.

I also took 3 strands of twine (Peapod, Honeydew, & Pink Sorbet) and twisted them together.  Then I adhered the ends UNDER the popped up panel on the front of the card so that the ends are completely hidden.  The braided strand adds another pop of color on the card and it helps tie the card together.

Does that get you in the mood for sunny, spring days?!  It does me for sure!
