HAVING TOO MUCH FUN WITH THESE SCRUNCHED PAPER FLOWERS

 

Same technique as before using bronze glimmer mist and 3 sizes of spellbinders scalloped circle dies,,,,I should add also that in the video in my last post the lady let the flowers air dry..because I used glimmer mist I like to use a heat tool to dry the flowers and while you are drying you can stop and shape the flower as you want it to look...and then add my stickles to the edges

SCRUNCHED PAPER FLOWERS

I've spent the last week watching videos about paper flowers.....from Tim Holtz down the line and of all the techniques
I tried, I found this one to be my favorite.....
(watchvideo)
I am using a petal flower cut from walk in my garden cart...in 3 different size cuts which because it has petals has a different shape than the flowers in video I basically used the technique...and using a cardstock that I just printed a script image I found on the net...
I've been trying different color combinations and with it being on the verge of spring I am using some pastel versa mark ink pads....for dampening I am using glimmer mist..and finding that the pastel ink and pearl glimmer mist..gives a patina effect and they are lookin' awesome...just wanted to share with you....planning a beautiful Easter card for the ladies in my family...my sisters nieces and friends ...
HAPPY SCRAPPING
