To Have And To Hold

Over at Totally Papercrafts this week, the lovely Lols is hosting and we want you to...

Make Your Own Flowers

Argggghhhhh - I don't do flowers. I have tried - honest I have - with all that rollling and wrinkling, but it always ends up looking like something the dog chewed up!!
So, I can't wait to see what you come up with - and hopefully you will share your secrets with us!

I used this gorgeous digi image from Tiddly Inks, coloured with Copics and a sprinkling of Glamour Dust. In fact, quite a bit of Glamour Dust went on this card - it's not just for Christmas, you know!   ;-)

Here's a close up of my flowers.

IRL they are very pretty, although I admit, not a lot of 'making' was involved!

If , like me, you're 'florally' challenged,

even you can give these a go.


I bought the lace flower trim from my local craft shop and cut out the flowers.

I punched a simple bloom from card and bent up the petals. 

I used a glue dot to stick the lace flower on top.

The card helps to give the lace some shape, otherwise it would lay very flat.

Then I simply added a pearl or dew drop centre.

Easy, peasy  :-)
