****Floral Perspective JustRite Challenge 033***
A Dodecahedron is a three-dimensional geometric figure formed of 12 equal pentagonal faces meeting in threes at 20 vertices. A square is a square is a square! Okay, I'm going to follow the JustRite Challenge 033 sketch using squares! Now to begin! I started with a piece of white watercolor paper and misted it with a touch of bronze (Tattered Angels). The floral image from JustRite Plant a Little Love stamp was repeatedly stamped about the paper. To fill in the empty spaces, I first blocked off the initial images and overstamped using the flower stamp from JustRite's Wood Stamper Oval Special Occasions Font set. Navy blue, orange, and silver papers were cut to form the squares. Th green flowers were made by stamping the flower from the JustRite Plant A little Love set6 times on the white water color paper, cut out, colored with markers (Copic and Tombow), moistened and shaped into flowers, JustRite "Just Because" stamp form the Just a Note line was reverse embossed and mounted on the middle square - copics and a swarvoski crystal highlight the tiny flower. The vertical "rectangle" was made with two silk ribbons and a piece of orange eyelash yarn. A bold blue flower (you guessed it...colored using a Copic marker) with it sparkling green gemstone made the destination point for making the two outside squares into optical boxes. Lastly, the made floral paper was mounted on a frame of orange which was then mounted on the navy blue card. And you wonder why I started out this paragraph with a Dodecahedron? Yep, there is a reason....but that is a whole other story ...I welcome your comments .....
