Paint the Petal Pot:Step 1 - Dab Snow Cap paint onto Petal Pot; just kinda dab it around . . . I didn't totally coat it. Allow to dry.
Step 2 - Using a bristle brush, apply a coat of Cloudy Blue paint over the dabbed Snow Cap paint.
Step 3 - Use a damp paper towel to blot some of the excess Cloudy Blue paint. This will allow the Snow Cap paint 'peek' through and add some texture. Allow to dry.
Step 4 - Randomly stamp snowflakes using VersaMark ink and emboss with White powder.
Step 5 - Repeat Steps 1 - 4 on the other side of the Petal Pot
Note: The Petal Pots come flat. For best results, paint and emboss one side at a time.Create the "Flowers":Step 1 - Punch five circles and one rectangle from Brilliant White Cardstock. Punch two scalloped rectangles from Black cardstock. I used Nestabilites for this step.
Step 2 - Punch nine scalloped circles from Black cardstock. I used jumbo, super jumbo and mega punches for this step.
Step 3 - Stamp Top Hat Owl using Onyx Black ink onto one of the bigger Brilliant White circles; set aside to dry.
Step 4 - Stamp sentiments on the remaining circles and rectangle; adhere to coordinating scalloped circles and scalloped rectangle.
Step 5 - Using Zip Dry Glue, adhere bamboo skewers to the back side of the Sentiment Circles and Rectangle. Set aside to dry.
Step 6 - Once the glue is dry, cover the bamboo skewers by adhering the remaining scalloped circles and scalloped rectangle. I just used double-sided tape for this step.
Step 7 - Color Top Hat Owl using colored pencils. Doodle a border with a fine tip black pen. Adhere to coordinating black scalloped circle. Attach to Petal Pot using foam tape.
Step 8 - Open the Petal Pot so it sits properly. Add a tad bit of Zip Dry Glue around the bottom edges.
Note: I applied the glue on the inside of the Petal Pot to keep the rice from falling through.Step 9 - Fill Petal Pot about 2/3 full with uncooked rice (you can use pinto beans or coffee beans, too). Arrange "flowers" as desired.
Ta-da! All done!
