I came up with the idea to do a topiary type shabby chic tree. I made all the flowers with Tims tattered floral die and use different color BLUE JEANS and canvas to make each flower. I took a hat pin and went thru the center of the flower and poked it into a styrofoam cone. I also used Tims tattered laves die and some canvas, and inked them with distress ink I added lace, pearls and a few frog flowers to make it look more shabby chic. Thanks to my vegabond, all the cutting was easy. I actually did all the cutting while watching my favorite u-stream show with Jim The Gentleman Crafter. That man is so entertaining, he makes my Tuesday. Check him out at: http://thegentlemancrafter.blogspot.com/
