As I said before it's time to get back to stamping and creating. Here is one that I've had waiting for you.
I want you to notice two things here...One....is the plastic placed between the window for a more realistic look to this card. Second, as I've been busy and inspired from my dear friend Jerri Kay of "A Touch Of Grace" to get crack-in and make some of my own flowers rather than store bought ones. I tried to follow Jerri's directions as close as possible and that's how mine all turned out? I scrunched them up good and misted water to them to help the paper crinkle better, and used my embossing pen as she implied in her superb directions. I however, did use my Spellbinders Die Cut called Rose Creations to cut them out and then improvised on the crinkly pink ones on this card. I cut each petal into smaller strips to form the whimsy effect on the larger flowers here. The next few weeks I will be sharing some of these homemade flowers on my cards.
Above are some that will eventually be on my next few cards in the coming weeks.
A closer view of my flower for you that is on this card!
I only was able to purchase white stamens for the center of my flowers so I took my Tom Bow Pink Pen and colored them pink.
I added lace to the inside of the window to make it look like lace curtains.
I really enjoyed making my own flowers although it makes for lots of work.
Hope you were inspired to try a few of your own? Hope you all come back next week for another peek?
I'll be waiting!
gorgeous card Leanne
ReplyDeleteWow! Just stunning! Well done with those flowers! I'm sure they are a lot of work...(That's probably why I have never tried to make flowers...and if I would try...I'm pretty sure mine would not turn out as well as yours have! Hope you have a good week. Blessings,Jill

Leanne, I think you're doing a fabulous job with those flowers, they are so beautiful! I still don't have the mulberry paper in stock. Sadly, my distributor just keeps telling me he's getting it. Now he's three months behind the date he promised I'd have it. :-(
