Hello fellow stampers! Welcome to my blog! I have this beautiful and very easy card tutorial to show you. The flowers are made out of brown paper sacks.
Take three paper sacks- or more if you want to make alot of flowers. Using three sacks gave me six flowers of each size. Roll them through the Big Shot using the Flower Daisies Die #2 (114520 page 207)
Next you are going to ink them. I used Cherry Cobbler, More Mustard, and Early Espresso. I inked them using Cherry Cobbler and More Mustard on the Largest and Medium Sized flowers. I used Early Early Espresso on the smallest-ink that one very light or use Chocolate Chip. It can get kind of dark.
After you've inked them- use some adhesive and layer them together. I think just a basic glue stick is the best. The paper is so thin that you don't need a stronger glue than this. Put them aside and let them dry really good.
Now comes the funnest part. This is where they really come together and look so amazing! You'll want to distress them a little. Crumple them and play with them a little to get the look you want them to have. I wanted mine to be a little weathered too and the paper sack material is so cool- it just does its own thing. It will curl up in spots and crinkle in others-its pretty sweet! K- so after that I used some Silver Foil Smooch Spritz to give it a little glitter. Just set your flower down inside your scrap waste basket that has a plastic liner and spritz the flower until you like the look. Be sure to shake the bottle up really well- the glitter settles in the bottom. Put a center like I did- using an Antique Brad (117273 page 187)
These would be so cute on a box of goodies too!
