Phindy's Place Challenge #70 - make your own embellishments
Thank goodness it's Friday - and a long weekend too, can't wait! Fridays are Phindy's Place Challenge days, and this week we are challenging you to make your own embellishments. I've made my own flowers, using two different methods. The image I used is called Summer Blossom, isn't she adorable? Does anyone remember Holly Hobbie? This little cutie reminds me of her... The stamped flowers are a Stampin' Up stamp inked with two shades of Distress Ink, with punched suns added for centres and I tried something new and glued some tiny seed beads into the centres as well. What do you think? The other flowers use a Little Claire die, then they are rolled up. I used 2 shades of blue but they look very similar in the photo. DP is Memory Box Minuet, I paper pieced her little romper suit from one of the papers.
My card is for the following challenges:
Digistamps4Joy - add a handmade flower
The Papershelter - diecuts and punches
Sisterhood of Crafters - flower power
Creative Card Crew - hand made flowers
Digital Tuesday - cute and girly
Papertake Weekly - dies to die for
Karen's Doodles - punch it out
Paper Creations Ink - show us your flowers
Victorine Originals - summer
Woodware USA - try something new (adding beads)
Corrosive Challenges - girly
