For a simple way to use pressed flowers, try sandwiching them between pieces of transparency plastic. If you don’t have any transparencies, you can laminate them or use page protector plastic for a similar effect. One benefit of transparencies is the protection that they offer. The photos and papers remain separate from the flowers, making them safer to use on your layouts. Alison used transparencies to make many of the embellishments more scrapbook-safe.
Alison used transparencies to make all of the embellishments for this layout. For the embellishment on the far left of the left page, she used jump rings to connect pieces of transparency and to make a chain to “hang” the embellishments from. The rest of the embellishments on the layout are merely dried flowers and foliage pressed between pieces of transparency plastic. She also printed the title and journaling on transparency plastic and put flowers behind both of them using the same technique. To keep the transparency pieces in place, she used GlueDots to adhere the pressed flowers to both the top and bottom sheets creating a "floral transparency sandwich."
