DIY: Flower techniques for Spring

Happy Spring to all my crafty friends living in the Northern Hemisphere. We are enjoying Fall weather here in Cape Town, which is bitter sweet for us all. It means shorter days & chilly nights with the bonus of less wind...so  I suppose there is an upside to having summer hijacked :D

In honor of Spring, I have a page of our DD to share using a few handmade flower techniques you might find inspiring. This happy color palette, teamed with fresh, candid photos of Cassidy, make for a lovely addition to her teen scrapbook album. 

Your Life by Kim Watson

Supplies: Cardstock: +Bazzill Basics Paper ; Patterned paper: +Heidi Swapp , My Minds Eye; Frame, Brag Card, Stickers: +Fancy Pants Designs  ; Die Cuts Accents, Chipboard: Simple Stories; Ink: Heidi Swapp; Adhesives: +TombowUSA , +Thermoweb, +Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L ; Metal Dies: +primamarketinginc . , +Little B  ; Manual Die-cutting machine: +Spellbinders Paper Arts  ; Other: Sewing machine

For the layout, I clustered handmade flowers around the photo arrangement, creating drama, as well as drawing the eye towards the title, then up to the photos & around to the journaling.

Torn paper & stitching flower: 

Pipe Cleaner & Button flower:

Layered die-cut flower & Leaves:

Stitched leaves & Flowers:

Bought Flower:

Here are a few details about each flower:

1. Rough rose made with torn paper strips & machine sewing.
2. Pipe cleaner daisy.
3. Layered patterned paper flower with felt & button center.
4. Peony created with metal dies.
5. Real paper bloom from Prima for a splash of yellow.

NOTE: All leaves are created with metal dies.

To further support my idea of a flower garden, I machine stitched leaves & swirls onto my background page, adding subtle texture & interest. 

I am so glad you stopped bay!
Have a wonderful weekend!

8 petaled flower tutorial.

Lately I have been experimenting with making flowers from paper. It is so rewarding & fun to do.... within an hour you can have a vase of flowers perfectly matched to any occasion. See below for the details on how to make these ones.

Pretty in Pink.

The Color Rooms palette #6 is up, & looking gorgeous!

I made this page, You & Me, for the palette using a lovely mixture of papers from:

• American crafts
• Studio Calico
• Basic Grey
• Prima marketing
• Fancy Pants

This page below is one made from Cocoa Daisy's May kit, Jack &
Jill.The gorgeous sticker sets I used are from:

• Little Yellow bicycle
• American Crafts Dear Lizzy
• October afternoon

 NOW the good news is that while I was making my tissue paper flowers for this page, I actually got my act together & photographed my process. So was able to put together a little tutorial together. ENJOY!

If you have a moment pop over to The Color Room. There is so much inspiration in the gallery, you will be blown away!
Happy Friday to you all.
