Wall Art

  Do you remember my corkboard from Friday?  Scroll down to find it if you haven’t seen it already.  At the end of that post, I told you I was going to do something with the scrap foam core board.  I have seen inspiration on pinterest on wall art in craft rooms.  I decided I could do this with the foam core board, scrapbooking paper, and my trusty cricut.  So, I got to work.
  I have been playing with the cricut craft room.  Oh! It is so much fun and a great design tool.  With cricut craft room you can build layers to assemble it to see how it will look cut and finished.  I am a very visual person so this is great feature of the cricut craft room.   I pulled up CTMH Art Philosophy and picked the square.  I enlarged it to six inches by six inches, the size of my board for layer one.  I then pulled up CTMH Artiste and picked the scissors for layer two.  I then enlarged the scissors to where I thought that they were an appropriate size by dragging the scissors(layer 2) over onto the square(layer 1).   I then did the same for the spool (layer 3), the thread(layer 4) and button(layer 5).   The button is found on the Artiste cartridge, and I used the outer circle layer from Art Philosophy.  I love that you can use different cartridges on one item. Note:  I did not cut out the square because this was only used for sizing. 
  This is it on the wall.  I cut a seven by seven square of three different  scrapbooking paper and wrapped the foam core board. I then attached the scissors, spool, and button with foam tape.  I inked around the edges of the squares and cutouts to give an aged look.  Below are individual pictures.
I cut out the scissors twice in the silver paper and trimmed to make two blades.  I cut the circle with a large hole punch.
I used Herringbone cuddlebug folder to represent thread.

The outer circle layer adds dimension to the button.
