Hi there Froglets *waving*
Have you noticed the growing trend towards handmade embellishments? Those that you can personalise to your project what ever it may be? Today I am sharing a layout where I made my own flowers, all be it slightly different to the norm, but so easy to make ;)
I have used 2 stamp sets to create my flowers, I just stamped out a design that was going to fit into my circle punches from the Funky Flowers and Matryoshka Dolls. Stamp your image onto some cardstock, punch it out using a circle punch, vary the sizes too if you wish, and then cut a small slit into the circle only to the middle of the circle, add some adhesive and then pull one edge back onto the other, only has to be a small amount to add some dimension
Add some pearls or buttons, even a brad to the centre of the flower and then adhere them to your layout, I wanted to mix these up with some paper flowers and loved the outcome.
I then stamped a flourish from the Elegant Swirls set onto some transparency and adhered them around the flowers
These were fun to make and really easy!!
Thanks for hopping by
