So this week's challenge is to create a card or project using handmade flowers. I combed through many tutorials on You Tube and other blogs to learn as many types of flowers as I could. You've seen some recent work with flowers I've made using Penny Duncan's SVG files which is sort of how this challenge got started.
For this marigold, I followed a tutorial I found on You Tube by an extremely talented paper artist named Claire, you can see her video here. These were pretty easy to make. I even created my own SVG by importing a digital image into SCAL that look very much like the punches she used. I am so proud of myself for getting that figured out!
I also couldn't create this card without the help of an awesome sketch! I used the one over at Our Creative Corner Sketch.
Supplies:
Card stock: Kraft (SU), Gold and Cream (Recollections)
Paper: The Breathe Paper Collection (Prima)
Stamps/Ink: Poppies & Greetings (SNSS), Rich Cocoa (Memento)
Tools: Cricut/SCAL, SVGs by me, Cuttlebug, Floral Fantasy embossing folder
I hope you join us this week over at Tuesday Morning Sketches. It'll be a lot of fun and definitely a little challenging. Thanks for stopping by.
