This was originally intended to be a piece for Vanilla Sugar but I didn't get it finished before I jetted off to the Dominican :D -Sorrryyyyyy Caroline!!!
So I have used it for my piece this week on Bubbly Scrumptious :D
So how did I create my countdown spinner???
I used Websters Pages Sweet Season throughout :D
Well, my buzz and bloom chippie didn't have the words on it, but other than that it was identical.
I started by covering the back of the back plate with the sweet sprinkles paper.
I covered the front side with the inka gold by watering a little bit down in the lid and painting it onand buffed when dry with a tissue. It did take two coats but it does cover the chipboard better.
I used the spare insert shape to cut out thegreen paper then glued down with glossy accents.
I printed the numbers on to the Safmat, cut out and stuck around the green sections. I actually used an advent kit from two peas but had to cut them down to fit them in so I could have used normal fonts on a word document.
Safmat is fabby as you can create your own rub on like stickers using your printer - fabby for hybrid scrapping :D
I covered the front section of my spinner in the Sugar plum tree paper, then used the second piece to create a 3d effect by cutting out the trees and layering up with 3d foam.
I did the same with the die cut sheet.
Next I added the Prima flowers and embellies and highlighted the decorations on the tree with the glitter pen.
I was a bit puzzled how to put it together at first but asked advice while I was at the PInk Booby crop and was given the perfect solution.
I used a spare post from a scrap book :D to cover the screw head I popped on another Prima crystal centre :D
Hope you like it :D
