Die cut Flower Card

Flowers are my all time favourite item. I love making them out of all sorts of things from Fabric, paper, plastic, jewellery...anything.

For this card I made the flowers using a Marianne Craftables Ovel die that comes with 3 concentric flower dies.
After cutting the flowers, I inked the edges slightly and made small cuts towards the centres so that I could shape and bend the petals. On the centre flower I inserted some teent tiny cake stamens which I coloured using the same ink pad as the flower edges.

The rectangle base was cut using Spellbinders Nestibilities NEW Labels 8 and the flourish was cut using Cheery Lynn Fanciful flourish.

New Home Card

This card is for my Mother-in-law who has just moved house.
The background is made using a "That Special Touch" Mask: Butterflies over which I applied Tim Holtz Tattered Rose distress ink. I then drew around the mask as a stencil using a pale purple pen. Silver pen was added to the butterflies. Walnut stain was applied to the edges.
Flowers are made using Marianne Designs Creatables Flower fantasy and Flora 1 dies, instructions can be found Here.
I punched an oval in white card and distressed it with the Tattered Rose Distress ink and applied it over lace.

My Minds Eye Paper stack card

For this card I used a Free paper stack of My Minds Eye papers I found in my stash.
Edge punches used are Martha Stewart scallop edge punch and an EK Success Open Scallop edge punch.
The flowers are made using Marianne Creatables flora 1, based on my Video.

Flowers are my favourite embellishment. I love trying to find new ways to make expensive ones I find in shops so came up with some lovely flowers using dies I already had. I used Marianne Designs Flower Fantasy and Flora #1 dies to make my Flowers.

I apologise for the quality, I recorded it in high quality on my iphone, but for some reason, You tube just would not upload it. After 2 hours trying, it kept failing so I ended up saving it in a lower quality format.
