Life can be crazy
During the last year my family suffered several severe health scares. We also celebrated engagements, our son's wedding and most recently our Godson was married in April. In Between the excitement shortly before Thanksgiving while ice skating I suffered a broken leg. As I say my leg pirouetted and I did not causing a spiral fracture requiring surgery. Now I am still recovering from becoming a human tripod for several months but the prognosis is good. It is just a slower process than I expected. Which is why it is so important to stop and take in the beauty of the world around us. Last year my own personal journey of twist and turns is inspiration for this cute little 3D art print.
Supplies
1. Printer
2. Cricut Maker or Explorer
3. Shadow Box Frame 6 X 6 (opening for art)
4. Glue Pads
5. 20 lbs. Copy Paper or Scrapbook Paper (remember it must fit in your printer
6. Cricut Spatula (recommend to prevent curling)
7. Light tack Mat from Cricut
Steps
After you gather your supplies place your paper in your printer. When your Cricut prompts you to print select your printer and then press print.
The printing is complete simply place the paper in your upper left hand corner of the light grip mat. follow the prompts on your Cricut screen.
Next release the mat from your machine, using the spatula suggested gently lift the paper and fresh cut flowers in the Ball jar to set aside.
Now place a second piece of 20 lb copy paper on a light grip mat to draw. Be sure to add a fine print black pen to A for the draw portion, B should have a blade to cut out your background. again follow the prompts on your computer or tablet to complete this step.
Remove the same way you did above.
Open frame back/
Place glue tabs on back off Ball Jar Flowers.
Arrange the way you like.
Place your 3D Art in the frame, close the frame and enjoy.
The frame I purchased is a Shadow Box Frame which comes in many sizes.
