Sorry for the glare on this first one but once I got it into that shadow box, I was not about to take it out again!
- I added a flourish and the "Family" that I cut with my Silhouette.
- I created the flowers by cutting out three each (with my Silhouette and a flower image found in the basic library) and following the instructions here. (Love these. I found them much easier to make with my hot glue gun even if I suffered major injuries...bwah ha ha!)
- I added the silk flowers (thought they kinda looked like lupines) and pearls.
BTW, for those of you who asked, this is a liopleurodon. He is estimated between 35 and 45 feet long with teeth each a foot long. Bigger than today's sperm whale, here he is chowing down on an elasmosaurus.
