The whole family, my sisters and brother, our spouses and kids, all dressed up as hippies for Mardi Gras this year. During a break in the parades, Kevin posed with his cousins and a friend, hamming it up for the camera. I scrapped the picture with cool papers from the Basic Grey "Out of Print" collection. After assembling the page, and scattering a dozen or so punched flower embellishments over the top, it just didn't seem complete. The little flowers were cute, but not substantial enough. "Hmmm..." I thought, "maybe I could make some of those lollipop flowers I'd been admiring on other people's pages!" And I did. Sooo easy. Instructions: Cut out circles of varying sizes from patterned paper. Ink edges. Wet edges slightly and bend upwards. Let dry. Layer and finish off with a button.
I'll be making these whimsical, fun flowers again!
Patterned paper-Basic Grey (Out of Print, Wander, and Oxford Collections). Edge punch, flower punch, dye ink, mini-brads, ribbon, and heart pins.
PERFECT papers! that is a great photo too! so fun. :)
ReplyDeleteYou know - I haven't really done those flowers either and I need to give it a try. Fantastic job with the retro design and awesome contrast of colors. LOVE that photo
ReplyDeleteI think these papers were made for your photo, which, BTW, is so cute and happy! LOVE your flower clusters and hand-made pops!
