What a fun challenge we were given by Nichole to create something using pompoms!  This wasn’t the first time I have used pompoms recently.  The last time I made them by hand and used them on THIS card.  This time, I thought I would be creative and use something I already had on hand!  I had this great Webster’s pages trim with pompoms on it already, so I decided to make good use out of both the trim and by cutting a couple of the pompoms off!

 

 This large round tin was made into a cough drop container, holding some Ricolas for a friend of mine who has been under the weather.   I hope this brightens her day!

 Floral Frenzy was the perfect set to use on this tin because of how the flowers are set up in this particular flower set.  The half-flowers were perfect for embossing with yellow embossing powder to add  decorative edging around the bottom of the tin.

 For the top of the flowers on the tin and cards I cut the pompoms off of the trim itself and then cut them in half to eliminate some of the bulk, which is a great option if you needed to mail the card.  I hope you try this out yourself, and take the time to check out the wonderful things the other Senior Team members contributed!
