Paper Flowers Embellished Card

Bren Yule — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 08:00:46 +0000

I love making these paper flowers. Inspired by Donna Salazar, I am on a paper flower roll!

Here is a close up side view…

I made my own homemade shimmer spritz using 50% CREATE-A-SHADE™ PEARL PAINT, 50% Alcohol, reinkers (pick your color and the intensity of the shade you want, add drops accordingly) and a drop of white glue. I used an empty stamp cleaner spritzer bottle for my batch of sparkley fun!

I love our “Top Stitch” paper pack, our crocheted flowers, and our oddles of felt! Order some today!
