Homeade Flower Challenge - Tuesday Morning Sketches

Hello!

I am guest designing again this week for Tuesday Morning Sketches, and our challenge this week is to make homemade flowers and use them in a project!   HOW FUN!!!!!  I love this kind of challenge, and have created a quick tutorial for you for the flowers I used on my project.  Be sure to hope over to Tuesday Morning Sketches to see our fabulous giveaway, and participate in the challenge this week!!

People are LOVING the Tim Holtz 3D flower dies, and as such, they seem to be out of stock almost everywhere.  Today I have a super easy way for you to create the same effect with a tool that you probably already have!

The Process

1. Using a scalloped circle punch (mine was 2 1/2 inches),
punch out scalloped circle from whatever paper you want to work with.

 

  

2. Using your paper scissors, make a cut into the scalloped circle,

starting between two of the scallops...

 3.  Continue cutting around the circle until you end up with something
that looks like this!






4. Using a mini-mister or spray bottle, spritz your scalloped circle with
some water to make the paper a bit more pliable.

 5. Begin twirling your paper to form your flower.  I start out with my
paper piercer because the very inside is a bit hard to work with at first.





 6. Once I have the beginning of the flower formed, I continue forming
the flower with my fingers.

 7.  When you are finished, you will end up with something like this!

 8. Again I used my paper piercer, but this time to gently open my flower up a bit.  This is not necessary, however I wanted my flower to be a bit more open.




 9. Using some Scotch Quick Dry glue I adhered the bottom flat piece of my scalloped circle to the base of my flower.

10. And you are done!  Add whatever bling you want to the middle and let your flower dry for a few minutes!







I ended up making three of these little guys for my card.

 After they dried a bit, I spritzed them with some Silver Smooch Spritz to give them a bit more 'something-something' (haha).

Thinking of You

Hello!

I have a simple card today that I made a bit ago and thought I would share.  LOVE these colours - they are last years 'In Colours' from Stampin' Up!

Guest Designer for Tuesday Morning Sketches!!!

FUN FUN FUN!!!!  Today I am beginning my Guest Designer spot at Tuesday Morning Sketches!  I will be a guest designer all month, and am SO looking forward to it!  I have a card for you today based on Melissa's sketch, which features an image from Glitterbabe, our sponsor!!!
I did some hand stitching onto this card...a first for me...I enjoy it, but felt it left too much blank space so I added some stickles.  I think next time I will stitch onto a patterned paper and then tear the edges for a greater effect.  Hope you enjoy!!
