What The Heck I Flower Soft?

That is the question I asked myself the first time I saw Flower Soft.

Flower Soft is an amazing little pot of colored "sprinkles" that you turn ordinary designs into a garden of color, dimension and fun!    Flower Soft is an innovative product that allows Stompers  and  paper crafters to add texture and embellishments to a wide variety of projects. Flower Soft is an almost spongy, sprinkly, brightly colored, light as a feather material that gives realistic look & texture to images. Flower Soft is very light and does not add any significant weight to a project. 

While  the name suggest that Flower Soft should be used on flowers, I am here to tell you that it can be used   anywhere you want to add a pop of color or texture.  Because it is acid free, it can be used in many different projects. It is simple to use and it can be added directly to a project by applying glue or other adhesive and covering this with the Flower Soft sprinkles.  

Now while Flower Soft may look intimidating it truly is not all you have to do is decide where you would like the Flower-Soft placed, add a dab of glue, and sprinkle it on. Tap off the excess and keep shake.

Supplies used for this Tutorial:

By now most of you know I like the one layer cards so I decided to do one today. Image from Bugaboo printed on PTI Kraft Brown with a computer generated sentiment. Printed paper (Stampin Up)  for paper piecing, Flower soft (nut brown) and Flower Soft glue (while FS glue is recommended other high tack glues can be substituted), to finish it off brown and white twine from the Twinery.

 

Before you begin to add your flower soft you need to color in parts where FS will not be.  Now is the time to also paper piece if you go that route.  As you can see I have left my bear bare, I will be showing you how I use flower soft as fur on images.

Apply the flower soft glue to your image, on the areas you want to add flower soft. You don't need to add a glob of glue, just enough to cover that area.

I put just a thin coat on image

Flower Soft comes pretty well packed in the container  it must be loosened up.  When adding flower soft to the glue, be sure to sprinkle it on with your fingers to make sure it separated not lumpy. You could also dump it in a bowl and separate it with your fingers.    Then just dump it on. YEP just like that. like glitter. you don't even have to be neat about it

After your entire “glue area” is covered with Flower Soft gently push down on the Flower Soft  kind of pushing it down in the glue. Then you gently brush off the excess. It is that simple!

Here is the finished product after applying the entire flower soft to the desired areas. I love the look of it because it makes it look like a fuzzy cuddly bear ,

and here is what it looks like up close....

Here is my finished card. Still Clean and Simple just the way I like it!
