DRAGONFLIES AND BUTTERFLIES

Dragonflies I learned from Penny Duncan  Here is her tutorial on that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aPuaqWVbRE&feature=player_embedded

Top of dome.  As you can see I made different size roses.

Just another view of finished product

The red ones had dragon flies in them

Here are the cylinders packed with cookies and topped with red roses

Here is how I started arranging them. I exchanged the green and put red in it's place. I then put the green in the middle. 

Thanks to Penny Duncan I made these red roses. They were easy to make. Just a little time consuming as I had to make around 25 of them. I carried them with me to the park and doctor offices to make them.  Here is the video she made. Just copy and paste onto browser or click on it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLrowwWGvuI&feature=player_embedded

I printed these tuxedos out with my cricut. I used glossy glue to high light the collar. I realized after I wrapped the gift I forgot to put on the bow ties. There was no way I was going to unwrap all that just for bow ties.

As you can tell the tux has 3 layers. I stamped some black ink on the layer under the top so that there would be a little more of a darker shadow to show where the arms were bent.

I cut these cute dress forms out using my cricut and embellished with lace and dotted on glue and applied glass beads for the bodice.

This is one of the simple cylinders I made out of Bazille paper. I love the texture on this paper. I was able to place 4 cookies in each cylinder. I made 3 cylinders each of red,black,white and green. I folded the edges inward and cut circles out to glue on the bottom and top of each cylinder. The cylinders measured 6Hx8.5.L.
