Peach Fuzz

Sometimes, not often though, I impress myself. This is one of those rare times. : ) I was doing a recipe swap and it was for a drink, it could be alcoholic or not. I didn't have a clue what to do mainly because I mostly drink Diet Coke. hehe But then I remembered I had been to the Outback Steakhouse recently and enjoyed one of their Wallabedarned drinks. I rarely drink but on the occasion that I do go to the Outback I get this yummy peachy frozen drink.

Well, I Googled it to see if I could find a recipe and this is what I found. I haven't actually tried it but it sounds good. So as I'm thinking about it I thought I need to get paper with peaches on it or something. What I tried doing instead was printing a picture of peach off the internet, traced it on cardstock then cut it out. Then I flocked it. So it actually has peach fuzz. How cool is that. I just started working with flock and thought I could use the clear embossing pad and it would adhere the flock. Well it did, sort of, but it easily rubbed right off. So I used a glue stick and it worked great. You can touch it and the flock stays put. I cut the petals off a flower to use as the leaves. If anyone tries this recipe please let me know if it's good. : )

Flocking

I know Easter is quite a ways away but I wanted to try flocking on this cute little chickie stamp I had. I just got the Doodlebug Design - Crushed Velvet Flock - Flock Assortment from scrap store that I teach at "A Memory to Scrap". The cool thing is, Ashley (the owner) said if we buy the assortment from her she will refill any of our bottles when needed for only $.50 each. Isn't that an awesome deal! I hope you can see the flocking on the close up picture.

Something really cool that Ashly told me was that you can use the Quickie Glue Pen to write or draw then cover with flock. So easy! I practiced by writing my name. How fun to make swirls or trace a fun template design then flock.
