On my online workbook this week: Tail end of the story

Dear

This week's inspiration is a the kind of heatwave that makes you pine for the coolness of the forest floor (see what I did there? :o) )

My tip for you this week is for placing the tiny, tiny bits of bark. Use a corsage pin to just pierce the top, pretty side of the bark, just enough so that it gets picked up in the sharp tip of the pin. Hold the bark wood side up (upside down) and spread a layer of floral glue on the wood. Reach into the design with the bark on the tip of the pin to position it exactly where you want it. Hold the bark in place for a few seconds so that it adheres. Gently slip the bark from the pin with your other hand. This way you can place even the smallest pieces of bark exactly where you want it.

Enjoy!

Every good wish,

Christine

Snippets...

Have a look at my all new behind the scenes/how did it come about/how did I think of writing that The Effortless Floral Craftsman book page - now with your reviews. Thank you Pim and everyone and Flower Factor (... and if your review is not yet there I would love to add it)
 

Here is a link if you want to download your copy of the FREE booklet with 17 of my most popular design templates that I have used here on My Creative Workbook. Some of the templates were also used to create something pretty in my book but all the Tutorials are here on My Creative Workbook for you to start designing even if you do not have a copy of the book... yet.
