Howdy! I have a totally fun project to share with you today! Wendy Smedley had the cutest paper flower arrangement posted on her blog the other day including a tutorial for how to make these cute little flowers on a stick, that you could put in your flower arrangement. I loved the flowers so much, but decided to leave off the stick part and just make them flat to use on my cards and now I am in LOOOOOOVE with these little poof-ball flowers!! Aren't they FUN?!
I made my flowers out of vintage book print (a book I bought at a thrift store) and stamped Polka Dot Basics II and Damask Designs on a couple of the layers in my flowers to give them a little pop of color. The pattern stamped across the bottom of the card is one of my favorites from Background Basics: Diamonds and the sentiment is from Signature Greetings. SUCH a fun and simple card! Give these flowers a try....I bet you'll love them too! And if you love 'em but don't want to make them yourself, not to worry. I'm planning on making oodles for my Etsy Shop because I love 'em so much, so keep an eye out if you're interested! :)
Hope you're having a great week. As Thanksgiving quickly approaches here in the US, I'm looking forward to spending the holiday with both sides of our family. Can't wait! Are you getting ready for the holiday festivities at your house?
