Paper Carnations

As we all know by now, I am obsessed with making flowers and I ran across this video on you tube for making paper carnations and I decided I would share this with everybody! All you need is a scalloped circle punch, cardstock, a brad  and water. How easy is that?

I used this Stampin Up scalloped circle punch for my flowers, and I chose to experiment with different types of inks.....my favorite were the Tim Holtz inks of course because they gave the most brilliant color. I love these little beauties......aren't they super cute? I did discover when using pigment ink....when you hit the paper with the water....the pigment ink actually turns different shades of color and almost gives a tie dye effect which I thought was super cool!

Can't wait to try these flowers on an altered project! I'm sure they will mix in with my Prima flowers and flourishes beautifully! I will post pics of projects I make using these flowers later on! Thanks for looking. Please leave a comment!

Flowers

Lately I have been obsessed with making different kinds of flowers.....satin lollipop flowers, denim flowers, paper flowers......I have become addicted! LOL! But seriously they are so much fun to make

and there are tons of videos on you-tube!

So this is a set of Denim Flowers I made from an old pair of jeans,

I used the Sizzix Circles #2 die to cut the Denim circles,

frayed the edges and added a fabric brad in the center....

I love how shabby these turned out,

Can't wait to use them on a project!

This is another set of Denim Flowers I made using the Sizzix
 Flowers layers Die, frayed the edges and sewed them together in the middle.
Not sure what I want to use for the centers yet......but I am
loving them just the same.
In this day and age it is all about Recycling....so
dig into your stash and see what you can come up with!

I am making paper flowers today.....will post pics soon!
